With this patch, how do you probe a device that was previously
blacklisted?
The answers I see to this question are pretty bad, maybe you have a good
solution.
On the other hand, can you explain why you want this limitation? What
problem does this solve? You have one view of the hotplug API, I would
like to understand why you hold this view.
Regarding the rte_devargs API, it can be fixed without making the
hotplug needlessly complicated I think.
I must point out that the scan_mode (incorrectly named) is something
that will be removed next release. The probe policies will be reworked
and I don't think that the solution should be proposed as a fix a few
days before the RC2.
