[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v9 0/3] pmdinfogen: rewrite in Python

[Dmitry Kozlyuk]

This patchset implements existing pmdinfogen logic in Python, replaces
and removes the old code. The goals of rewriting are:

* easier maintenance by using a more high-level language,
* simpler build process without host application and libelf,
* foundation for adding Windows support.

Canonical JSON formatting of generated strings raises ABI warnings.
There are no meaningful changes, which can be checked by comparing
output of pmdinfo before and after the patch:

    find build/drivers -name '*.so' -exec usertools/dpdk-pmdinfo.py
