[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce deprecation of dpaa2 exposed mem structure

[Shreyansh Jain]

rte_dpaa2_memsegs is no more required once the dpaax (pa-va) translation
library has been introduced. This can be made internal (for fallback
operations) in subsequent release.

   Currently this is exposed from the library. Ideally, no application should
   be directly using it. This is expected to be deprecated and made internal
   in v19.02 or later.

+* dpaa2: removal of ``rte_dpaa2_memsegs`` structure which has been replaced
+  by a pa-va search library. This structure was earlier being used for holding
+  memory segments used by dpaa2 driver for faster pa->va translation. This
+  structure would be made internal (or removed if all dependencies are cleared)
+  in future releases.
