For this patch, I would like to understand why we are having this
policy. Symbols that are emitted for later linking will be present in
archives generated by the framework. Am I wrong to think they can
conflict with user app symbols?
If that is correct, we should use pci_* prefix for static symbols,
rte_* for everything else, even "internal" symbols -- in the sense
that they are meant to be opaque to the user, but will still be linked
in static build.
If I'm wrong in thinking this, then ok with this policy and let's go
forward to align naming in PCI bus.
