Why this assumption? Please start by stated the issue to solve. > Device parameters are available to rte_devices via their devargs field. > This field should be set up as soon as possible, as central information > are stored within, such as the device name which is used to search > the newly scanned device before plugging it in. > > When a device is introduced using the hotplug API, it is implicitly > whitelisted. As such, it can conflict with existing bus configuration. > The new rte_devargs uses the new rte_eal_devargs_insert function that > supersedes previous rte_devargs, allowing to force the insertion of new > devices. I cannot parse this sentence. I probably need to sleep and read it again ;)
