 @Thomas Monjalon , Do we need to update the "Removed Items" section?

@McDaniel, Timothy
Following section in doc/guides/rel_notes/release_20_11.rst will emit
error now. Please change as needed.

* **Added a new driver for the Intel Dynamic Load Balancer v2.0 device.**

  Added the new ``dlb2`` eventdev driver for the Intel DLB V2.0 device. See the
  :doc:`../eventdevs/dlb2` eventdev guide for more details on this new driver.
