The use of rte_devargs is inconsistent in the light of new functionalities
such as device hotplug.
Most of its API is still experimental and needs stabilization.
Older functions were deprecated and need to be rewritten or removed.
The rte_devtype is meant to disappear.
v2:
Big rework.
* Enact requiring bus name prepended in rte_devargs parsing functions.
* Remove rte_devtype. Use new probe mode setter along with generic
bus reference within rte_devargs.
* Rework devargs parsing API.
The function is now variadic, does not enforce bus rules on the devargs
being inserted as the bus has been configured previously.
Old parsing function is removed.
* Expose bus guessing from device name.
This uses the "parse" bus operator, which may be meant to disappear.
This is optional, but nice to have in a transition period.
* Introduce new --dev generic device declaration parameter.
This patchset depends on:
Move PCI away from the EAL

Bus control framework
