  The patch adds following functions.

- rte_eth_dev_save()
  The function is used for saving current rte_eth_dev structures.
- rte_eth_dev_get_changed_port()
  The function receives the rte_eth_dev structures, then compare
  these with current values to know which port is actually
  attached or detached.
- rte_eth_dev_get_addr_by_port()
  The function returns a pci address of a ethdev specified by port
  identifier.
- rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_addr()
  The function returns a port identifier of a ethdev specified by
  pci address.
- rte_eth_dev_get_name_by_port()
  The function returns a unique identifier name of a ethdev
  specified by port identifier.
- Add rte_eth_dev_check_detachable()
  The function returns whether a PMD supports detach function.

Also the patch changes scope of rte_eth_dev_allocated() to global.
This function will be called by virtual PMDs to support port hotplug.
So change scope of the function to global.

v4:
- Add paramerter checking.
v3:
- Fix if-condition bug while comparing pci addresses.
- Add error checking codes.

Is it better to replace "-1" to "-EINVAL" ?

Thanks. I will do like above.
