Hi Thomas,

Please help us to understand why we need this.

The scan callback allows to spawn a vdev automatically
given some custom scan rules.

These two new APIs (rte_vdev_add_custom_scan and rte_vdev_remove_custom_scan) are called by applications? If so, why not just constructing them in the parameters before passing to rte_eal_init?

It is especially useful to create a TAP device automatically
connected to a netdevice as remote.

It sounds like an use case. Without this patch, I suppose we can already do this?

Thanks,
Jianfeng
