  The devtype is now entirely defined by the device bus. As such, it is
already characterized by the bus identifier within an rte_devargs.

The rte_devtype enum can disappear, along with crutches added during
this transition.

rte_eal_devargs_type_count becomes useless and is removed.

What is the intent of this?  If probe_all is true, and devargs != null,
I think this branch isn't taken.

Shouldn't this be ||?  Maybe I missed something?

Here are the possible choices:

probe_all \ devargs        !NULL                  NULL
--------------------------+----------------------+----------------------------+
true                      |blacklist and the     |blacklist mode and no       |
                          |devargs describes a   |devargs, meaning the device |
                          |blacklisted device    |is not blacklisted          |
                          |--> do not probe      |--> do probe                |
--------------------------+----------------------+----------------------------+
false                     |whitelist mode and    |whitelist mode and no       |
                          |whitelisted device    |devargs, device has been    |
                          |using a devargs       |scanned but not whitelisted |
                          |--> do probe          |--> do not probe            |
--------------------------+----------------------+----------------------------+

A XOR is thus the logical expression of this decision.
What I could be doubtful about here is that using a xor anywhere can be
confusing for some people and it could all be expressed in two simpler
ifs.

Also, probe_all could be renamed as "blacklist_mode" for example to be
more descriptive.

But unless I'm mistaken, the logic should be correct.
