We cannot replace a driver by another one without comparing performances.
Actually there is no good reason to remove an implementation if some people
are willing to maintain it.
Please send a patch to import your vmxnet3 PMD as extension in a separated
repository like these ones:
http://dpdk.org/browse
This way, we can have a first integration step and discuss/test this
implementation during the next release cycle.
Thank you for contributing
