OK. This is doable.

IMO, A factor could be, how much we are OK to change?
Our internal prototype implementation for a bare metal environment
shows things are already in place and may need minor changes like this to
accommodate a bare metal execution environment(accounting the latest
changes of moving pci to driver/pci/..)
If no one care about need for such abstraction then we could drop this
patch. We can always keep local copy of such patches in our internal
tree. I thought to upstream it as it may be useful for someone else and
it is easy for us maintain if changes are in
lib/librte_eal/<new environment>/eal/ and drivers/*/
