[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/6] introduce prgdev abstraction library

[Chen Jing D(Mark)]

These patch set intend to introduce a DPDK generic programming device layer,
called prgdev, to provide an abstract, generic APIs for applications to
program hardware without knowing the details of programmable devices. From
driver's perspective, they'll try to adapt their functions to the abstract
APIs defined in prgdev.

The major purpose of prgdev is to help DPDK users to dynamically load/upgrade
RTL images for FPGA devices, or upgrade firmware for programmble NICs, without
breaking DPDK application running.


Chen Jing D(Mark) (5):
  prgdev: introduce new library
  prgdev: add debug macro for prgdev
  prgdev: add bus probe and remove functions
  prgdev: add prgdev API exposed to application
  prgdev: add ABI control info
