Ok, I think what you're saying here is you're too busy to handle all the patches
comming in at the moment.  As such I'd like to propose a sub-tree encompassing
all the pmds in DPDK.  I would envision that including all the acutal pmd's in
the tree, as well as the infrastructure that is used to interface them to the
core (i.e. the ethdev/rte_ether library).  I'll gladly maintain the patch pool
and send you pull requests.

If you could set me up with a login to dpdk.org, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
Neil
