This is a heads up for KNI removal in the *main* branch.

With this removal, there is no remaining out of tree Linux kernel
module to compile/test in DPDK sources.
This means that jobs (like the one in UNH lab that was compile-testing
KNI against the latest Linux kernel sources) can be disabled.

Important note: this mail does not ask for any change to LTS releases testing.
If KNI was built and tested with LTS releases, you should continue to do so.
