[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 00/10] Rename blacklist/whitelist to

The terms blacklist and whitelist are often seen as reminders
of the divisions in society. Instead, use more exact terms for
handling of which devices are used in DPDK.

This is a proposed change for DPDK 20.08 to replace the names
blacklist and whitelist in API and command lines.

The first three patches fix some other unnecessary use of
blacklist/whitelist and have no user visible impact.

The rest change the PCI blacklist to be blocklist and
whitelist to be allowlist.

v2
  - incorporate feedback for names in rte_dev.h and rte_bus.h
  - fix wording in comments and doc
  - add _Pragma to cause deprecation warning
