Re: [PATCH] doc: announce ivshmem support removal

Hi Thomas,

I'm going to develop a NFV based carrier system with SPP because it's able
to chain VMs in high-performance and I think it might be the best solution
for service function chaining. Without ivshmem, throuput between VMs is
largely decreased. So we are not so happy if ivshmem is obsoleted.

As you mentioned, we can use v16.07 but it's unwelcome situation for us and
our possible users cannot gain of improvements from future version of DPDK.
I'm appreciated if you kindly keep ivshmem to be maintained. Or, is there
any idea for high-performance inter-VM communication as ivshmem?
