Add deprecation note for making changes in data structures, APIs and
macros in order to increase the traffic classes, flexible mapping of
pipe queues to traffic classes, subport level configuration of
pipes, queues sizes, etc.

 * kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
   for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.

 * eal: both declaring and identifying devices will be streamlined in v18.11.
   New functions will appear to query a specific port from buses, classes of
   device and device drivers. Device declaration will be made coherent with the
