There is a dummy pci driver in the vdev PMD's at present.
This RFC proposes to remove the pci driver from the vdev PMD's.
Changes have been made to librte_ether to handle vdevs which do not have a pci driver.

The pdev PMD's should work as before with the changes to librte_ether
The vdev PMD's which still have a pci driver should work as before with the librte_ether changes.

The following vdev PMD's have had the  pci driver removed

bonding PMD
null PMD
pcap PMD
ring PMD


Bernard Iremonger (6):
  librte_ether: add fields from rte_pci_driver to rte_eth_dev and
    rte_eth_dev_data.
  librte_ether: handle RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC for vdevs
  null: remove pci device driver
  ring: remove pci device driver
  bonding: remove pci device driver
  pcap: remove pci device driver
