We should really start pointing people to use the pkg-config files to pull
in libraries, and with a properly installed DPDK using "ninja install", all
.so drivers should be automatically found on the PMD_PATH. Therefore, the
number of cases where built-in DPDK drivers are being explicitly loaded
individually using "-d <drivername>" should be very, very few.
