Currently testing this patch, I just noticed some remaining traces of
librte_compat:

[dmarchan at dmarchan dpdk]$ git grep librte_compat
MAINTAINERS:F: lib/librte_compat/
doc/api/doxy-api.conf.in:                          @TOPDIR@/lib/librte_compat
\
doc/guides/contributing/documentation.rst:   |-- librte_compat
doc/guides/contributing/versioning.rst:To support backward compatibility
the ``lib/librte_compat/rte_compat.h``

and librte_compat_netmap does not exist:
examples/netmap_compat/bridge/bridge.c:                 "Couldn't
initialize librte_compat_netmap\n");
examples/netmap_compat/bridge/bridge.c:
printf("librte_compat_netmap initialized\n");
