OK. But I thought, Thomas hasn't pulled the changes from dpdk-next-virtio.

Even if didn't make it for v16.07, I would suggest you to consider taking
the changes to dpdk-next-virtio as this change involves file restructuring
(Will have issue with re-basing in future) without having any functional impact.
