[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] eal: add support for driver directory concept

Add a new EAL option -D for loading all drivers from a given directory.
Additionally a default driver directory can be set in build-time
configuration, in which case it will be always be used when EAL is
initialized (but can be overridden or disabled with -D).
This simplifies usage in shared library configuration significantly over
manually loading individual drivers with -d, and allows distros to
establish a drop-in driver directory for seamless integration
with 3rd party drivers etc.
