Hello Matan,

This fix is relying on the RTE_ETH_EVENT_NEW, an API that I think is not
meant to be backported in the stable release that would be targetted by
this commit id.
I think this fix is useless without the rest of this series, so I don't
know what is exactly planned about the rest (whether it is backported,
and where), but I would only CC stable if this is planned, and only as
soon as the relevant APIs are introduced.

I do not see why the port_id is made uint32_t? Is there a reason?
Otherwise all seems fine. With the proper justification or with uin16_t
pid, and with a second pass on the backport tagging,
