In this application, target PCI device is Intel FPGA, it supports some special
operation like removing it from PCI bus and rescanning it back from PCI bus,
So there are two things need to be done directly on rte_pci_bus:
1. Rescan PCI bus
pci_bus->bus.scan()
2. Get pci_dev by specified PCI address, and remove it
TAILQ_FOREACH(pci_dev, &pci_bus->device_list, next) {
if (!rte_pci_addr_cmp(&pci_dev->addr, &addr))
return pci_dev;
}
....
pci_drv = pci_dev->driver;
pci_drv->remove(pci_dev);
