[PATCH] doc: announce API and ABI change for ethdev

[Zhiyong Yang]

  This is an API/ABI change notice for DPDK 17.11 on redefinition of
port_id. port_id is defined as uint8_t by now, which is just ranged
from 0 to 255. For more and more scenerioes, more than 256 devices are
needed to support for vdev scalability.

  It is necessary for redefinition of port_id to extend from 1 bytes
to 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and use cases related to port_id will be
changed at the same time.

A nit: we usually don't indent at the commit message paragraph.

That's for ABI only and you missed the API part. Meaning, you need also
mention that all APIs have port_id parameter will be changed too.

Also, rte_eth_dev_data is not the only structure has ABI changes. There
are few more (for instance, rte_port_ethdev.h). As said before, you don't
have to list all of them, but at least you should not list one example
only as it seems that's the only structure has ABI change.

8bits -> 8 bits. You might want to reword it further. Besides that, this
change is indeed needed. Thus,

This is an API/ABI change notice for DPDK 17.11 on redefinition of
port_id. port_id is defined as uint8_t by now, which is just ranged
from 0 to 255. For more and more scenerioes, more than 256 ports are
needed to support for vdev scalability.

It is necessary for redefinition of port_id to extend from 1 bytes
to 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and use cases related to port_id will be
changed at the same time.

I think this reads a little better:

This is an API/ABI change notice for DPDK 17.11 announcing the 
redefinition of port_id. port_id is currently defined as uint8_t, which 
is limited to the range 0 to 255. A larger range is required for vdev 
scalability.

It is necessary for a redefinition of port_id to extend it from 1 bytes 
to 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and usages related to port_id will be 
changed at the same time.

Thanks Remy, of course. Your statement is better. I have a lot of things  to learn
when speaking in English. I hope I can describe things like you, a native speaker. :)
