For this release, v20.11, all Makefile changes can be dropped, since make build
system will be removed soon.

What about adding this as a config option, to enable & disable the debug,
instead of having as a commented code?
And overall why not use this as runtime configurable logging, instead of compile
time?

Please use DPDK logging, instead of 'printf'.

Btw, this file has dual license, we have dual license for the code that is
shared between kernel and DPDK, if this is shared with kernel how can have the
'printf'?
Should debug related macros moved to some other header?

Since this is not shared but DPDK only code (that was the outcome of the
techboard discussion), can you pleae follow the DPDK coding convention to the
file. There are multiple samples doesn't match the convention, I won't comment
on other instances.

'CONFIG_COMPAT' is for Linux, do we need it for the DPDK copy?
