* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
but release 2.3 will. [postponed]
* ABI change is planned for the rte_mempool structure to allow mempool
cache support to be dynamic depending on the mempool being created
needing cache support. Saves about 1.5M of memory per rte_mempool structure
by removing the per lcore cache memory. Change will occur in DPDK 16.07
release and will skip the define RTE_NEXT_ABI in DPDK 16.04 release. The
code affected is app/test/test_mempool.c and librte_mempool/rte_mempool.[ch].
The rte_mempool.local_cache will be converted from an array to a pointer to
allow for dynamic allocation of the per lcore cache memory.
