+* linux: Linux kernel version 3.2 (which is the current minimum
required
+  version for the DPDK) will be end of life in May 2018. Therefore
the planned
+  minimum required kernel version for DPDK 18.5 will be next
oldest Long
+  Term Stable (LTS) version which is 3.10. The recommended kernel
version is
+  the latest LTS kernel which currently is 4.14.

We could print a warning at EAL init if kernel version does not
satisfy the
minimal requirement.

Note that 3.10 is dead as well since last year (as I discovered with
immense joy when I had to backport meltdown fixes...), the next LTS in
3.16 which will be maintained until 04/2020.

I am with 3.16.
Can we ack 3.16 and I do the change when applying?
