[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 0/5] replace blacklist/whitelist with allow/block

This patch series changes the use of the terms blacklist and whitelist
and instead uses block and allow.  The change is most visible
in the options passed to DPDK programs for marking which devices
to use.

The options are also shortened because they can be used for
not just PCI devices. When DPDK was expanded to support other bus
types the -b option was also uses for non-PCI devices. But the
documentation and the name of the long option never changed.

v8 - incorporate more of the feedback from David Marchand
     fix the pci-blacklist option number and reformat the usage
     (All the usage message should be fixed format).

v7 - fix options handling changes in test code.
     this should fix the CI failures.

v6 - fix some confusion in handling options that was introduced
     by earlier versions of the patch.

Stephen Hemminger (5):
  eal: replace usage of blacklist/whitelist in enum
  drivers: replace references to blacklist
  eal: replace pci-whitelist/pci-blacklist options
  doc: change references to blacklist and whitelist
  app/test: use new allowlist and blocklist
