But it is a bug not something that needs a deprecation notice. The DPDK has avoided using typedefs for port, queue, lcore, and socket. With socket_id there is the need to represent SOCKET_ID_ANY which is -1. Please file a bugzilla entry instead. Looking at code, there a few places doing using uint8_t which will work since no cpu at present supports that many numa nodes. Should probably be a compile assert for that though.
