Hi Matan,
I'n not fond of the commit title, how about:
[PATCH v3 3/8] net/failsafe: add probed etherdev capture
?

The naming convention for the failsafe driver is
namespace_object_sub-object_action()
With an ordering of objects by their scope (std, rte, failsafe, file).
Also, "get" as an action is not descriptive enough.
static int
fs_ethdev_capture(const char *name, uint16_t *port_id);

In this case, the devargs of the probed device must be copied within the
sub-device definition and removed from the EAL using the proper
rte_devargs API.
Note that there is no rte_devargs copy function. You can use
rte_devargs_parse instead, "parsing" again the original devargs into the
sub-device one. It is necessary for complying with internal rte_devargs
requirements (da->args being malloc-ed, at the moment, but may evolve).
The rte_eal_devargs_parse function is not easy enough to use right now,
you will have to build a devargs string (using snprintf) and submit it.
I proposed a change this release for it but it will not make it for
18.02, that would have simplified your implementation.
