Yes, this was a mistake, good catch.

I have a few issues with this patch myself. However, to properly fix
those, I need the rte_devargs evolutions coming afterward.

As an intermediate step, this is good enough to support the current
rte_dev attach / detach API and follow the new hotplug API. It makes
sense to have it as part of this series, so that the latter is self-contained
and internally consistent.

But it will evolve.

I will rewrite the commit log.
