[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/5] eal: enable global device syntax by default

[Xueming Li]

The new Global Device Syntax [1] is used to identify a device with full
bus, class and driver description, example:
 -a bus=pci,addr=82:00.0/class=eth/driver=mlx5,...

This patchset fixes bugs and enable global device syntax with
backward compatibility by:
- unify devargs memory buffer cleanup
- parse name from bus driver callback api 
- try new global syntax parsing firstly and fallback to legacy parsing.


History:

V1:
 - Inital version

V2:
 - add devargs.src as complete source dev string
 - change devargs.data to scratch buffer
 - add rte_devargs_free() to release scratch memory
 - change name policy to align with rte_eth_iterator_init()
 - remove PCI bus fix as name already resolved in rte_devargs_parse().
V3:
 - remove devargs.src
 - rename rte_devargs_free() to rte_devargs_reset()
 - add bus callback api to resolve devargs.
V4:
 - add RTE_DEVARGS_KEY_BUS/CLASS/DIRVER macro
 - parsing "name" by default if no bus devargs parsing callback
 - Minor fixes suggested by Ray and Thomas
