There are ABI changes to rte_vmbus_* calls. This patch added rte_vmbus_device* as the 1st parameter to those calls.

This will be a breaking change, and it only affects hn_netvsc as it's the only PMD using the vmbus.

Reading ./doc/guides/contributing/abi_policy.rst, I think the best option is to use RTE_NEXT_ABI. But I can't find its definition in the code base.

Please advise on how to proceed with making those breaking ABI changes.

Thanks,
Long
