=========================================================
+* **Added New eventdev OPDL PMD**
+ The OPDL (Ordered Packet Distribution Library) eventdev is a specific
+ implementation of the eventdev API. It is particularly suited to packet
+ processing workloads that have high throughput and low latency requirements.
+ All packets follow the same path through the device. The order in which
+ packets follow is determinted by the order in which queues are set up.
+ Events are left on the ring until they are transmitted. As a result packets
+ do not go out of order.
+
+ With this change, application can use OPDL PMD by eventdev api.
