[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/9] fix hotplug API

[Gaetan Rivet]

Sending those fixes as separate patches as they stand on their own.
This series improves usability of the hotplug API and fixes a few issues
with existing implementations.

The hotplug API can be tested with the fail-safe PMD[1]. Its
documentation describes how to declare slaves and how to use it.
