  Thank you David, I will revert the renaming of the stable
  functions to fix the ABI break.

  Given that the original functions only operate on the current thread
  (using the _thread_self()), changing their names to 
  rte_thread_self_*et_affinity() brings more clarity to the purpose of
  the functions. We will propose an ABI change to rename
  them in the next release (following the proper ABI changes procedures).
