[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/7] vhost: add dequeue zero copy

[Xu, Qian Q]

I'm a little concerned if it's a correct way to change the name from release to release, some users may use eth_vhost for the driver, and found it was not working. Do we need also make the consistency b/w releases?  
What's the name difference b/w eth and net? Other PMDs are not virtual devices. Virtio_user is also a virtual device, do we need to change the name,too?

Oh, thx for the info, it's better to have some documentation update in R16.11 release notes.

Hi Xu,

Name has been chenged to net_vhost0 for consistency with other PMDs.
