I caught an issue on patch 6 that breaks headers installation with
meson (caught this by compiling examples against an installed dpdk).
This issue is fixed by patch 7.
So it is only a matter of fixing compilation when bisecting.
I proposed a fix in reply to patch 6, which I intend to squash in when applying.


I did not validate all patches individually with make, as I get build
errors on missing headers with parallel compilation quite easily.
But those errors are transient afaiu: with a clean build directory no problem.
