I am OK to not require this flag for DPDK internally.

But I remember this has been suggested when __rte_experimental implemented but
rejected that time, and forced the flag for internals too.

Some of the flags have comments around them to clarify why the flag is required,
I was mainly requesting it to manange when to remove this flag, those comments
also should be removed.
