I wonder if we should keep PMD specific APIs as experimental (Not talking about mbuf 'dynfield' / 'dynflag' APIs, we can promote them). If an application is using PMD specific API, not sure if it will concern about PMD specific APIs. And keeping PMD specific APIs lets us remove them as soon as we can, also adds additional discourage for users to use them. > > Signed-off-by: Haiyue Wang <haiyue.w...@intel.com> <...>
