[dpdk-dev] 17.05.1 patches review and test

[Yuanhan Liu]

Hi all,

I'm doing an unexpected stable release, which is expected to be released
in about two months. The reason I'm doing it is there is an import bug
fix commit that is needed for OVS 2.8 release. The fix is a vhost-user
commit comes from me. Well, unfortunately, I'm also the author of the
original bug :/

So I'm doing an urgent release. That also means we will have another
17.05 release (17.05.2) shortly after v17.08 is out.

And here is a list of patches targeted for this release. Please help
review and test. The planned date for the final release is 30, June.
Before that, please shout if anyone has objections.

These patches are located at branch 17.05 of dpdk-stable repo:
    http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/

Thanks.
