Well it seems I was a bit overeager to target 17.05 as we eventually
have to follow the use-case which is mostly openvswitch for now.

But while exploitation was rather fast in the past given that OVS
dropped the experimental state from DPDK support this got more official
now.

So in [1] one can see that OVS 2.7 only plans to support DPDK 16.11.
We should not derive too much from that as history told us that causes too much 
errors.

That means:
- deb_dpdk project will continue to work on DPDK 17.05 into Debian experimental 
(out of experimental after unfrozen)
- For Artful which is bound to OVS 2.7 we will re-align DPDK and focus on the 
next LTS release which is 16.11.2
- The enablement we planned can be done there, some arm backports needed but ok 
since they are upstream.
