What if some entity will take ownership later?
If you want the app will be ownership aware:
	if you sure that you want this port to be owned by this application you need to take ownership on it.
else:
the port is hidden by RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV if it is owned by some entity. 
see how it was done in testpmd function: port_id_is_invalid().
