Hi Nobuto,
FYI the PPA patch lacks any kind of dep-3 headers [0]
Those can be really useful later on, so adding them is generally recommended.

The diff on LP goes a bit crazy unfortunately listing all since 19.11.1 so it is hard to read.

FYI - currently I'm in the progress to prepare 19.11.10 upstream and then MRE that as an SRU.
So I'd recommend to rebase and test your changes onto that.
If you need a PPA with it to base on look here (with the RC1) [1]

That said the patch you backported was not flagged for stable@dpdk - do you by any chance know why?
Maybe you could ping the Authors of [2] if they want to nominate it still.
If they do we could make it part of the next upstream stable release which comes at the benefit of getting testing by various companies owning the various potential HW that DPDK can run on.
