That's interesting.
Because I wondered about this point when reviewing __rte_internal.
For components providing only internal symbols like components
providing only experimental symbols, the build framework will select a
soname with .0.200.x.

Here, your dpaa2 driver was seen as a stable library so far.
Moving everything to internal changes this and the build framework
changes the soname to non stable.

You could keep an empty DPDK_20.0 block to avoid this and the soname
will be kept as is.
