I understand you worked on it during some time and you reveal it just now. I must say thank you for the work. It would have been better to notify the community in advance so we would have discussed about the need for this work before you start. First question: What is the use case of DPDK on s390x? Second question: How is it tested? Do you have any CI? Third question: Do you have time to dedicate to DPDK? If yes, why not helping with IBM Power? The reason for this last question is that the support for IBM Power is still beta. I feel unconfortable merging one more IBM arch while the first one does not receive enough support and testing. I think running a CI for IBM Power would be a good first step.
