It may not be the responsibility of this patchset, but there are more
experimental APIs in DPDK.

Using EXPERIMENTAL tag in linker script is relatively new approach and this was
not a requirement, so many experimental APIs are documented in API documentation
(header file doxygen comment).
Sample: librte_member

It is required to scan all header files and update their linker scripts for the
experimental APIs.
