  Move the vdev bus from lib/librte_eal to drivers/bus.

As the crypto vdev helper function refers to data structure
in rte_vdev.h, so we move those helper function into drivers/bus
too.

Why not CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VDEV_BUS?
It would seem more consistent.

Let's say the cryptodev lib must be updated.
I understand the need to move rte_cryptodev_vdev.h outside
librte_cryptodev, but I guess this exposes the vdev bus to ABI / API
instability due to a third-party subsystem?

I did something somewhat similar for PCI:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-August/073525.html

I don't know which solution is best, but something certainly needs to be
done.

---

Beside the `why`, about the `how`: shouldn't this file compilation and
symlink be conditioned to CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CRYPTODEV=y?

i.e.: SYMLINK-$(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CRYPTODEV)-include += rte_cryptodev_vdev.h

Was trying to be consistent with the directory name, drivers/bus/vdev. 
Do you think that directory should also be renamed?

Thank you for bringing up this question. I really don't want to move 
these crypto-specific files into bus/vdev/. It's just some helper 
functions to be called by crypto vdev drivers. And what's more, the only 
dependence on vdev is that the API rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init() has a 
parameter of struct rte_vdev_device, which is totally not necessary, as 
it only needs a struct rte_device parameter.

In all, I'd prefer to change this specific API and move those 
crypto-specific files back to lib/librte_crypto (just like ether dev and 
eventdev); but it needs API change announcement.

Any thoughts?

I prefer your way to move those things to specific dev folder.

Yes, make sense.

Thanks,

I think we should keep this API in cryptodev. It looks strange to have some
Crypto specific functions in a file like this that should contain generic vdev
functions.

Btw, for future times, strip out all the text where there are no comments,
so it is easier to review by others.

OK, I'll try to put those files back, see if possible to add a dependency on librte_bus_vdev in lib_cryptodev.
