> The purpose of this patch is used to add a new field "class" in rte_pci_id
> structure. The new class field includes class_id, subcalss_id, programming
> interface of a pci device.
> With this field, we can identify pci device by its class info, which can be more
> flexible instead of probing the device by vendor_id OR device_id OR
> subvendor_id OR subdevice_id.
> For example, we can probe all nvme devices by class field, which can be quite
> convenient.
