Posting my comments in beginning. No further comments.
@pbhagavat...@marvell.com, it seems like v3 patch1 drops some changes from v2
patch1 (for e.g. missing event vector pointer in rte_event) causing build
failure. Could you have a look?
Thanks!

> Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/8] eventdev: introduce event vector capability
>
> From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavat...@marvell.com>
>
> Introduce rte_event_vector datastructure which is capable of holding
> multiple uintptr_t of the same flow thereby allowing applications
> to vectorize their pipeline and reducing the complexity of pipelining
> the events across multiple stages.
> This approach also reduces the scheduling overhead on a event device.
>
> Add a event vector mempool create handler to create mempools based on
> the best mempool ops available on a given platform.
