doc: announce driver name changes

Browse Source 
Driver names for all the supported devices in DPDK do not have
a naming convention. Some are using a prefix, some are not
and some have long names. Driver names are used when creating
virtual devices, so it is useful to have consistency in the names.

@ -37,3 +37,8 @@ Deprecation Notices
* The mempool functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated and
will be removed in 16.11.
It is replaced by rte_mempool_generic_get/put functions.
* Driver names are quite inconsistent among each others and they will be
renamed to something more consistent (net and crypto prefixes) in 16.11.
Some of these driver names are used publicly, to create virtual devices,
so a deprecation notice is necessary.
