* run checkpatches and check-git-log from devtools on the set, a number of warnings are thrown up by both [e.g. no initial-caps for patch titles] * before merge to DPDK this probably needs to be split up into smaller patches with more limited set of functionality in each one. For example, the create/destroy, add/delete and lookup functions can probably go in separate patches to make reviews easier.
