As mentionned in this thread:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/zblqf6c3ujmic...@bricha3-mobl.ger.corp.intel.com/T/#me1c8f06a9ca2cf2a4ed4a028d373a3e3ce5146d1
I intend to pull this change in the main repository and mark this
change for backports in other stable branches.
I'll do this for -rc3, expected tomorrow, unless someone objects.
