This patchset needs a rebase since the EAL file movement got merged, however I'll review here so we can include some Acks etc and make progress. Is this really a "Fix"? The internal function names were not exported in the .map file, so are not part of public ABI. This is an internal naming improvement (thanks for doing cleanup), but I don't think the Fixes: tags make sense? Also I'm not sure if we want to port this patch back to stable? Changing (internal) function names seems like unnecessary churn, and hence risk to a stable release, without any benefit? --- <snip patch diff>
