Once this patch is formalized, the documentation reference for
rte_devargs.h also needs to be changed as it still refers to RTE devargs as:
"...These devices can be PCI devices or virtual devices....".
Similarly, the rte_devargs_parse too has PCI traces.
Next step would be to remove the "pci"/"vdev" reference from
rte_eal_dev_attach.
Former can be part of this series, but the later needs to be a separate
patch, I think. Let me know if you want me to work on these (or later).
Other than that, I think I am OK with overall patch. If you can push the
final series (I am not sure it would be with or without bus control), I
can give it a spin (to vaildate if non-PCI like FSLMC bus can work fine).
