I think it was a design decision to not have all Make config options to meson
build, and reduce compile time configuration as much as possible.
For a while we are pushing back new compile time config options unless they are
really must, the 'RTE_LIBRTE_BNXT_PMD_SYSTEM' has been merged mostly because it
has been missed.
Instead of introducing this PMD level compile time option to meson, can it be
possible to convert the config to runtime config. In the past we have used the
device arguments many times for same reason, can something similar be used here?
