Hi Anatoly & Thomas,

The following eal experimental symbols are present in both v21.05 and v19.11 release. These symbols should be considered for promotion to stable as part of the v22 ABI in DPDK 21.11, as they have been experimental for >= 2yrs at this point.

Just an additional comment.
Marking stable is not the only choice.
We can also consider hiding such symbols (marking internal) if there
is no clear usecase out of DPDK.

there has to be a very strong/clear case for promotion to public.
