EAL PCI layer is planned to be restructured in 17.05 to unlink it from
generic structures like eth_driver, rte_cryptodev_driver, and also move
it into a PCI Bus.

has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
targets release 17.05.
-* ``eth_driver`` is planned to be removed in 17.02. This currently serves as
- a placeholder for PMDs to register themselves. Changes for ``rte_bus`` will
- provide a way to handle device initialization currently being done in
- ``eth_driver``.
Just to highlight, above statement was added by me in 16.11.
As of now I plan to work on removing rte_pci_driver from eth_driver,
rather than removing eth_driver all together (which, probably, was
better idea).
If someone still wishes to work on its complete removal, we can keep
the above. (and probably remove the below).
+* ABI/API changes are planned for 17.05 for PCI subsystem. This is to
+ unlink EAL dependency on PCI and to move PCI devices to a PCI specific
+ bus.

+* ``rte_pci_driver`` is planned to be removed from ``eth_driver`` in 17.05.
+ This is to unlink the ethernet driver from PCI dependencies.
+ Similarly, ``rte_pci_driver`` in planned to be removed from
+ ``rte_cryptodev_driver`` in 17.05.
* In 17.02 ABI changes are planned: the ``rte_eth_dev`` structure will be
extended with new function pointer ``tx_pkt_prepare`` allowing verification
