  I no longer have the bandwidth to support the TAP PMD, so I am
removing myself as the maintainer so as to not hold up commits.

Thanks Keith, introducing this PMD and maintaining up until now, when
you have more time we would like to see you back.

Meanwhile some features of the PMD like rte_flow, eBPF (for RSS),
netlink, Rx interrupt, TC support, etc.. introduced by 6wind/Nvidia,
and these features makes majority of the driver.

Pascal, Ophir, Moti, do you still have use cases for these features?
Can you please help maintaining the driver?

Thanks,
ferruh
