> This patch aim to enable hotplug detect in ixgbe pmd driver. Firstly it set the
> flags RTE_PCI_DRV_INTR_RMV in drv_flags to announce the hotplug ability,
> and then use rte_dev_event_callback_register to register the hotplug event
> callback to eal. When eal detect the hotplug event, it will call the callback to
> process it, if the event is hotplug remove, it will trigger the
> RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RMV event into ethdev callback to let app process
> the hotplug for the ethdev.
> 
> This is an example for other driver, that if any driver support hotplug feature
> could be use this way to enable hotplug detect.

I don't get the point. Looks like this's a very common rte code. Why is it put in ixgbe pmd?
