Hi Bruce,

I was trying something along the lines of:

meson configure -Ddisable_drivers=net/* -Denable_drivers=net/i40e

But it seems that enable_drivers does not override disable_drivers. Ninja says:

[...]
net/hinic:      not in enabled drivers build config
net/hns3:       not in enabled drivers build config
net/i40e:       explicitly disabled via build config
net/iavf:       not in enabled drivers build config
[...]

Could you please fix that?

Also, since all sorts of exotic libraries are continuously being added to DPDK, it would be nice to have a similar Meson option for libs, i.e. enable_libs to override disable_libs=*.
