I like the switch, two remarks however:

1. The SCAN_UNDEFINED basically means blacklist mode for the PCI bus.
   This is the reason probe_all was set by testing for WHITELIST
   mode: either of the other too would thus trigger the blacklist
   behavior.

   Thus, I think you could write a fallthrough case for UNDEFINED, that
   would go into the BLACKLIST mode.

2. For pointers in general I would test against NULL instead of using
   the unary '!'.
   I think it is the general policy in DPDK to always explicitly check
   against the constant value, but I personally think that for booleans
   like need_check the "not" operator is ok.
   So I will only highlight the !devargs :)
