This series did not get a lot of reviews, especially for the last half of patches. As it allows to make some progress to get a generic devargs syntax, I decide to apply the first 12 patches, which brings a base for a generic devargs syntax parsing. The last half of patches are implementing some parsing/iteration for PCI, vdev and ethdev. They need to be discussed and agreed with more reviews. And more importantly, we need to add more properties in the devargs syntax, and we need to address more buses and device classes. Getting the parsing base in 18.08 should help to close the full syntax in 18.11. Thank you Gaetan for the big work.
