Change Notes:
V2)
Moved ifeq to _INSTALL target
V3)
Undo V2 changes and make librte_compat use the rte.install.mk file
instead
v4)
changed --version-script to accept SRCDIR in this patch at per request
documented versioning macros
cleaned up macro parameter consistency
converted SA macro to RTE_STR macro
fixed copyright

Comments
I agree in principle with this patchset. OVS links with DPDK and providing stability in the ABI/API (and the Policy to manage this) makes deployment easier for OVS when linking with shared dpdk libs. It should also be easy for us to track changes in the API through the deprecation notices making development easier!
Good job.
