To be clear, yes we want transparency where things come from, but in
this case we had all of that.
It is an extension (by Kalesh) of a backport (by me) of c28e2165e that

Only for the very special case it is here, not for random diff
snippets thrown in any thread.
The rule of thumb should still be "submit with prefix [Patch 19.11] to
sta...@dpdk.org"
