Deprecation Notices
-------------------
* The EAL function pci_config_space_set is deprecated in release 16.04
and will be removed from 16.07.
Macros CONFIG_RTE_PCI_CONFIG, CONFIG_RTE_PCI_EXTENDED_TAG and
CONFIG_RTE_PCI_MAX_READ_REQUEST_SIZE will be removed.
The /sys entries extended_tag and max_read_request_size created by igb_uio
will be removed.
* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
* The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI

include more fields to be matched against. The release 2.2 does not
contain these ABI changes, but release 2.3 will.
