The first patch of this patchset contains a fix for EAL PCI probing,
to avoid a race-condition where a primary and secondary probe PCI
devices at the same time.
The second patch adds a function that can be polled by a process to
detect if a DPDK primary process is alive. This function does not
rely on rte_eal_init(), as this uses the EAL and thus stops a
primary from starting.
The functionality provided by this patch is very useful for providing
additional services to DPDK primary applications such as monitoring
statistics and performing fault detection.
