DLB devices need events to be enqueued in the same order they are
dequeued. Applications are not suppose to change event order between
dequeue and to enqueue. Since Eventdev standard does not add such
restrictions independent enqueue support is needed for DLB PMD so that
it restores dequeue order on enqueue if applications happen to change
it. It also adds missing releases in places where events are dropped
by the application and it expects implicit release to handle it.

By default the feature will be off on all DLB ports and they will
behave the same as older releases. To enable reordering feature,
applications need to add the flag RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_INDEPENDENT_ENQ
to port configuration if only the device advertises the capability
RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_INDEPENDENT_ENQ.

+Independent Enqueue Capability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DLB2 hardware device expects all forwarded events to be enqueued in the same
+order as they are dequeued. For dropped events, their releases should come at
+the same location as the original event was expected. Hardware has this
+restriction as it uses the order to retrieve information about the original
+event that was sent to the CPU.  This contains information like atomic flow
+ID to release the flow lock and ordered events sequence number to restore the
+original order.
+
+Some applications, like those based on the DPDK dispatcher library, want
+enqueue order independence. To support this, DLB2 PMD supports the
+``RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_INDEPENDENT_ENQ``capability.
+
+This capability applies to Eventdevs supporting burst mode. On ports where
+the application is going to change enqueue order,
+``RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_INDEPENDENT_ENQ`` support should be enabled.
+
+Example code to inform PMD that the application plans to use independent enqueue
+order on a port:
+
+    .. code-block:: c
+
+       if (capability & RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_INDEPENDENT_ENQ)
+         port_config = port_config | RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_INDEPENDENT_ENQ;
+
+This code example enables enqueue event reordering inside DLB2 PMD before the events
+are sent to the DLB2 hardware. If the application is not going to change the enqueue
+order, this flag should not be enabled to get better performance. DLB2 PMD saves
+ordering information inside the impl_opaque field of the event, and this field should
+be preserved for all FORWARD or RELEASE events. Following MACROs are provided to get
+and set this field inside the event in case the same event is not used for forwarding
+(e.g., a new RELEASE event is created when the original event is dropped instead of
+reusing the same event).
+
+    .. code-block:: c
+
+       #define RTE_EVENT_GET_IMPL_OPAQUE(ev)      (ev->impl_opaque)
+       #define RTE_EVENT_SET_IMPL_OPAQUE(ev, val)  (ev->impl_opaque = val)

 New Features
 ------------
 
-.. This section should contain new features added in this release.
-   Sample format:
+* **Updated DLB2 Driver for independent enqueue feature**
 
-   * **Add a title in the past tense with a full stop.**
-
-     Add a short 1-2 sentence description in the past tense.
-     The description should be enough to allow someone scanning
-     the release notes to understand the new feature.
-
-     If the feature adds a lot of sub-features you can use a bullet list
-     like this:
-
-     * Added feature foo to do something.
-     * Enhanced feature bar to do something else.
-
-     Refer to the previous release notes for examples.
-
-     Suggested order in release notes items:
-     * Core libs (EAL, mempool, ring, mbuf, buses)
-     * Device abstraction libs and PMDs (ordered alphabetically by vendor name)
-       - ethdev (lib, PMDs)
-       - cryptodev (lib, PMDs)
-       - eventdev (lib, PMDs)
-       - etc
-     * Other libs
-     * Apps, Examples, Tools (if significant)
-
-     This section is a comment. Do not overwrite or remove it.
-     Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
-     =======================================================
+  Added support for DLB independent enqueue feature. Applications should use
+  ``RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_INDEPENDENT_ENQ`` to enable the feature if the capability
+  ``RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_INDEPENDENT_ENQ`` exists.
