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

[ChristianEhrhardt]

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.

Title:
  Upgrade to DPDK 17.05 in Artful

Status in dpdk package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in openvswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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.
