 From your logic, then, how many PMDs can be accepted?

See my previous email: techboard should not bypass discussion of the 
dev@ mailing list. I believe that the question for the techboard is 
about the number of PMDs that we can get into the DPDK: if any PMDs can 
get in, so AVP, fail-safe, xyz, whatever the models that are proposed. 
We could even get 2 PMDs of a same (v)NIC, but with different 
implementation-designs.
