May be it is too late to suggest a new API functions to ethdev, but hopefully if the idea is accepted, it could be applied in the current release cycle since these functions are trivial.
I'm not sure that rte_ethdev_version.map is updated correctly since EXPERIMENTAL tag is present and I don't understand how it should be handled. In general for the transition period from old offload API to the new one it would be useful to convert Tx offloads to/from txq_flags in rte_eth_dev_info_get() for default_txconf and rte_eth_tx_queue_info_get(). Unfortunately it was lost during new offload API patches review. However, it would require testing for all network PMDs and we decided to follow more conservative approach and kept code to fill in txq_flags which should be simply removed when txq_flags are removed.
