i think the format of commit log should be refined to be more formal 
like as below. what do you think?

ethdev: XXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXX

if it is a fix, suggest to add the line as "Fixes: XXXXXXXX ("ethdev: 
XXXXXXX") to trace it.

 From the change log, you said that "rte_eth_dev_data.dev_flags" should 
not be touched by secondary process, but you don't mention about

data->kdrv and data->numa_node, could you also explain them in the log 
if they need to process as the same.
