[dpdk-dev] Experimental symbols in bbdev lib

[Chautru, Nicolas]

Hi Ray, 

That request was considered for 20.11. But this was deferred by the community while waiting for other vendors who may be willing to contribute their own PMDs.
Any specific concern with this not being on a tracked ABI?

Thanks
Nic
