The patchset fixes secondary process crash issue when it tries to access virtio-user pmd (e.g. via rte_eth_rx_burst).
The crash happens because in virtio_user probing, eth_dev_attach_secondary is not being called, as it does from rte_eth_dev_pci_probe. Therefore, the device is not properly initialized. The patchset contains 2 patches: 1. Export rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary, so non-pci drivers will be allowed to call it. 2. Fix the actual bug by calling the function during virtio_user probe.
