>> Last release saw the introduction of the new devargs system.
>> To this end, the "class" abstraction was described as well
>> as a common API for querying and declaring devices.
>>
>> This patchset implements the "eth" device class and the
>> query/declaration part of the framework for PCI and vdev buses,
>> enabling a minimal support for the new system.

>This part of the patchset is applied
>(except patches 4 and 7 that were discussed).
>
>> A new testpmd command is added to test device querying.
>>
>> Devargs parsing is extended in the relevant buses to test
>> device declaration. This part uses the new "rte_eth_dev_create" API,
>> introduced last release and used by only two PMDs, for now.
>>
>> The new devargs format is also made available through the new --dev
>parameter.

>This second part of the patchset is left for next release.

>> Next work is to generalize use of new API for eth_dev creation,

>> Gaetan Rivet (13):
>> bus/pci: implement device iteration and comparison
>> bus/pci: add device matching field id
>> bus/vdev: implement device iteration
>> bus/vdev: add device matching field driver
>> ethdev: add private generic device iterator
>> ethdev: register ether layer as a class
>> ethdev: add device matching field name
>> app/testpmd: add show device command
>> bus/pci: pre-process declarative PCI devargs
>> bus/vdev: pre-process declarative vdev devargs
>> bus/pci: process declarative PCI devargs
>> ethdev: process declarative eth devargs
>> eal: add generic dev parameter
