> This commit introduces a new API for storing device arguments given by
> the user. It only adds the framework and the test. The modification of
> EAL to use this new module is done in next commit.
>
> The final goals:
>
> - unify pci-blacklist, pci-whitelist, and virtual devices arguments
> in one file
> - allow to register a virtual device driver from a dpdk extension
> provided as a shared library. For that we will require to remove
> references to rte_pmd_ring and rte_pmd_pcap in argument parsing code
> - clarify the API of eal_common_whitelist.c, and rework its code that is
> often complex for no reason.
> - support arguments for PCI devices and possibly future non-PCI devices
> (other than virtual devices) without effort.
