Well, I suppose we will always have a pci driver embedded in some
other internal pmd structure.
So we can always expect it to be called pci_drv ...

Btw, for drivers like mlx or virtio that need to do some more stuff in
their constructor (the iopl stuff for virtio is the most interesting
case, since the pci register happens only if iopl succeeded), we might
need some RTE_MODULE_INIT for those.

But in such a case, I think having RTE_MODULE_INIT in all pmds would
make more sense, and RTE_EAL_PCI_REGISTER looks unneeded ?
