From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula at marvell.com>
The structure ``rte_event_vector`` will be modified to include
``elem_offset:12`` bits taken from ``rsvd:15``.
The ``elem_offset`` defines the offset into the vector array from
which valid elements are present.

+* eventdev: The structure ``rte_event_vector`` will be modified to include
+ ``elem_offset:12`` bits taken from ``rsvd:15``. The ``elem_offset`` defines
+ the offset into the vector array from which valid elements are present.
+ The difference between ``rte_event_vector::nb_elem`` and
+ ``rte_event_vector::elem_offset`` gives the number of valid elements left to
+ process from the ``rte_event_vector::elem_offset``.
