    "content": "This is a follow-up of an idea presented at Dublin\nduring the \"hotplug talk\".\n\nThe idea is to ease probing of range of ports attached\nto the same rte_device.\nI becomes possible to allow probing again the same device\nbut with a bigger range of ports in the devargs.\n\nInstead of adding a parameter to the hotplug functions, as in the RFC,\nthe check of an already probed device is moved to the bus and enabled PMDs.\nIt gives flexibility to drivers for managing range of ports.\n\n\nChanges in v4 - after Andrew's review:\n  - remove access to rte_device.driver during probing (patch 1)\n\nChanges in v3 - after Declan's review:\n  - return error in all buses but PCI\n  - add a PCI driver flag to enable feature per driver\n  - return -EEXIST if probing again is not supported\n\n\nThomas Monjalon (4):\n  ethdev: rename memzones allocated for DMA\n  drivers/bus: move driver assignment to end of probing\n  eal: add function to query device status\n  eal: allow probing a device again\n\n drivers/bus/dpaa/dpaa_bus.c             |  3 ++\n drivers/bus/fslmc/fslmc_bus.c           |  3 ++\n drivers/bus/ifpga/ifpga_bus.c           | 21 +++++++-------\n drivers/bus/pci/pci_common.c            | 38 ++++++++++++++++---------\n drivers/bus/pci/rte_bus_pci.h           |  6 ++--\n drivers/bus/vdev/vdev.c                 | 12 +++++---\n drivers/bus/vmbus/vmbus_common.c        |  5 ++--\n drivers/net/i40e/i40e_vf_representor.c  |  3 --\n drivers/net/mlx4/mlx4.c                 |  1 -\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.c                 |  1 -\n lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_dev.c  | 14 +++++----\n lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_dev.h | 18 ++++++++++--\n lib/librte_eal/rte_eal_version.map      |  1 +\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c          |  5 ++--\n 14 files changed, 84 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-)"
