Since there is no maintainer for l3fwd and tech board decided to have a unified l3fwd application for poll mode and event mode, I request to have the review for the common code change(at least 8/11 and 9/11 patches). This series has been pushed from the last release to this release to have enough review. We would like to merge this patch for this release. Request a timely review.
