Can you please add the new PMD support to the release notes (release notes of

Why it is GPL-2.0 licensed?

What is the license of the PMD overall?

Is the allow exprerimental flag really required? If so can you please add the
experimental APIs used as a comment.

The prefix is the now ABI version, you can use 'DPDK_20.0' for it.
