* mempool: The functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated
and will be removed in 17.02.
It is replaced by ``rte_mempool_generic_get/put`` functions.
* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE, FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
HASH and L2_TUNNEL, is superseded by the generic flow API (rte_flow) in
PMDs that implement the latter.
Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
