There are some bogus checkpatch complaints against patches in this
series.  The new linux kernel checkpatch now complains about whitelist/blacklist
so any attempt to fix would hit that.

Also, Linux kernel checkpatch now wants the magic
          fallthrough;
which in Linux kernel is a macro but does not exist in DPDK.
Someone want to fix checkpatch for that one?
