Ihar Hrachyshka 4a66fa833e Multiple tweaks for Ocata release notes
Those hopefully are of benefit. The major bit of the change is stopping
to use prelude section for all current release notes. This is because
the section is supposed to contain global release notes, not
feature-specific.

Other tweaks are open for debate.

features:
- vhost-user reconnect is a mechanism which allows a vhost-user frontend to
reconnect to a vhost-user backend in the event the backend terminates
either as a result of a graceful shutdown or a crash. This allows a VM
utilising a vhost-user interface to reconnect automatically to the backend
e.g. Open vSwitch without requiring the VM to reboot. In this release,
support was added to the neutron Open vSwitch agent and ``ml2`` driver for
vhost-user reconnect.
other:
- vhost-user reconnect requires dpdk 16.07 and qemu 2.7 and openvswitch 2.6
to function. if an older qemu is used, reconnect will not be available but
vhost-user will still function.
