[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 00/10] devargs cleanup

[Gaetan Rivet]

Cleanup the rte_devargs API.

This is a continuous process.
The previous version of this patchset was dependent on changes
on the PCI bus and the rte_bus library. Not all these changes were
integrated. This patchset has thus been limited to elements that are
available right now, without dependencies.

The devargs list is made private. All devargs users are meant to use them
using the proper API. Devargs will allocate dynamic memory. With device hotplug,
this memory is usually mishandled and lost by libraries not following the evolutions
of rte_devargs.

v4:

  * Rebased on master.

v5:

  * Merged iterator patches
  * Fixed rte_devargs_add documentation in its own patch.
  * Updated deprecation notice when relevant.

Gaetan Rivet (10):
  devargs: introduce iterator
  bus/vdev: do not reference devargs list
  bus/pci: do not reference devargs list
  net/vdev_netvsc: do not reference devargs list
  test: remove devargs unit tests
  devargs: make devargs list private
  devargs: make parsing variadic
  devargs: update devargs add documentation
  devargs: use proper namespace prefix
  devargs: rename legacy API
