[Bug 1691661] Re: Upgrade to DPDK 17.05 in Artful

[ChristianEhrhardt]

OVS need to adapt to new DPDK in general for ABI and header changes as
outlined in:

http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_05.html#api-changes
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_05.html#abi-changes

I need to check if that code is already in OVS later and can be
backported, otherwise we might be blocked here for now and only continue
to update DPDK itself with the open task to close the full transition
once we think we can.

  Upgrade to DPDK 17.05 in Artful

Bug description:
  Upgrading to DPDK 17.05 would be a good match for the release timing of artful.
  This should allow us to shove in the first stable release 17.05.1 around September for extra stability.

  We are working on DPDK 17.05 in general at the deb_dpdk project and
  things seem to work, but being a rather complex lib this has more
  implications like at the moment Openvswitch even on 2.7 not working
  with it.

  So evaluate and work on that.
