  To remove assumption, do like followings.

- Add 'attached' member to rte_eth_dev structure.
  This member is used for indicating the port is attached, or not.
- Delete nb_ports, and fix rte_eth_dev_count().
  The value was used for counting attached ports and also used for indicating
  maximum attached port number. But if some ports are detached, these 2 values
  may not be equal. So delete nb_ports, and fix rte_eth_dev_count() to count
  how many ports are attached actually.
- Add rte_eth_dev_allocate_new_port().
  This function is used for allocating new port.
- Add rte_eth_dev_validate_port().
  This function is used for check whether the port number is valid and the
  port is attached.
- Replace port validation codes to rte_eth_dev_validate_port().
  nb_ports is deleted in this patch, so use rte_eth_dev_validate_port() to
  validate a port.

Given that apps may regularly use eth_dev_count, might it not be worthwhile to retain the nb_ports local variable to make this API call just be a variable read. The other APIs to enable/disable individual ports could easily just inc/dec this var as they do so.

I agree with your suggestion. I will change like above.
