Hi Huisong,

As commented on v4, I have some concerns on this set.

The set does multiple ethdev/testpmd change, but the main target of the
patch is not described clearly/simply.

It looks like intention is to be able to register NEW event callback in
the secondary process and be able to setup device in secondary when
primary attaches a device,
but my question is why not multi-process communication socket can't be
used for this?

MP socket/communication/thread is developed for this reason, I am not
convinced why it can't be used to sync primary and secondary for device
attach/detach.
