Hi Ben,
Only bug fixes are backported to LTS. Not even new NIC drivers are backported.

If the atomic work is planned to be backported, the question of if/when the C11 standard would be adopted seems less relevant since it would need to be supported for DPDK versions that do not have the C11 standard requirement too.
