I'm really not comfortable adding a new Intel bbdev driver, while the turbo sw driver cannot be freely compiled. I know some work is in progress in Intel to fix this compilation issue, and I am interested in checking it before proceeding with a new driver. > +Section 3 of the DPDK manual provides instuctions on installing and > compiling DPDK.

We cannot accept any maintenance operation if icc is required.
