Following the evolutions announced in [1], here is the first part of
the rte_devargs rework planned for 17.08. The rationale has been partially
explained in [2].
This first part covers the introduction of the necessary facilities in
rte_bus to allow for generic device parsing. This API is implemented for
the virtual and PCI buses. Additionally, this rte_bus evolution is being
used within rte_devargs to characterize a device type by its bus.
This work is the first of two parts to reduce the dependency of the EAL
upon specific bus implementations.
The modified rte_devargs parsing allows declaring on the EAL command line
explicit buses to handle a device. The format is as follow:
--vdev="virtual:net_ring0" --vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0"
-w PCI:00:02.0 -w 00:03.0
This explicit bus designation is optional; no evolution is currently
forced on users to migrate to this new format. The separating character is
arbitrary.

This patchset depends on:
bus attach/detach API and hotplug rework

v1 -> v2:
* fix PCI parse implementation
v2 --> v3:
* Rebase the series on the new plug / unplug API
v3 --> v4:
* Several bug fixes, commit log rewrite.
* Follow the changes to the plug / unplug API.
v5:
* Do not verify bus name on bus registration.
Actually, a legal bus name is not defined anymore.
The bus/device separator in a device declaration can be anything,
as long as it is a single character.
The behavior is otherwise unchanged.
v6:
* Rebase upon new hotplug patchset version.
* Rename rte_bus_from_dev as rte_bus_find_by_device_name.
This function is now private to the EAL.
* Remove rte_bus_from_name, as it has been integrated as
rte_bus_find_by_name by Jan Blunck.
* Reduce parsing ambiguity in rte_devargs.
v7:
* Use Thomas' bus registration fix.
* Improve rte_bus_find_by_device_name, by making
more resistant to shaky bus parse implementation.
Gaetan Rivet (5):
bus: introduce parsing functionality
vdev: implement parse bus operation
pci: implement parse bus operation
bus: add helper to find a bus from a device name
devargs: parse bus info
Thomas Monjalon (1):
bus: fix driver registration
