This new API allows reacting to a device removal.
A device removal is the sudden disappearance of a device from its
bus.
PMDs implementing support for this notification guarantee that the removal
of the underlying device does not incur a risk to the application.
In particular, Rx/Tx bursts and all other functions can still be called
(albeit likely returning errors) without triggering a crash, irrespective
of an application handling this event.

This release a few NIC features added, and it is hard to follow them if
you are particularly looking for these features.
So do you think does it make sense to put those new PMD features into
release notes to make it more visible?
Yes it seems like a good idea to announce this evolution. I will
send the relevant patch for this soon.
Thanks,
