Understood but I am only thinking from user's perspective that user didn't do 
rte_eth_dev_configure and related APIs so closing the device using 
rte_eth_dev_close
does not look good. 
May be other's (eal and memif PMD owners) can suggest something better. 
Please redirect this query to them for suggestions also.
