[dpdk-dev] DPDK driver autoloading?

[Stephen Hemminger]

The current DPDK PCI code requires that all PMD shared libraries
be loaded before probing.  This a burden for applications that run
on multiple platforms and a total mess for Linux distributions.

A better way would be to have the bus scanning code autoload
drivers as needed. This would work like the Linux kernel
module loading. 

Could existing pmdinfogen mechanism be extended to to do this?
