That's a very good point, have to admit - I missed that part.

I think rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary() wouldn't work, as majority of the PMDs
setup
fast ops function pointers after it.
>From reading the code rte_eth_dev_probing_finish() seems like a good choice -
as it is always the final point in device initialization for secondary process.
BTW, we also need something similar at de-init phase.
rte_eth_dev_release_port() seems like a good candidate for it.
