But not sure how to manage the same problem for whole project, if install all 
headers in one patch, or add them gradually via separate patches by time ...

We did a cleanup in ethdev but not in other driver classes.
When the cleanup will be done gradually, the headers
must move in this new category driver_sdk_headers.

yes, some headers are not installed now.  so they need only to have
their api marked __rte_internal and installed (since there should be no
external consumer as a function of not being installed)

the more difficult case is where headers were installed but the api were
not marked __rte_internal and appear in the stable version.map. for
those i guess deprecation notice has to be issued before marking as
internal.
