[dpdk-dev,v7,01/14] eal_pci: Add flag to hold kernel driver type

  From: Michael Qiu <michael.qiu@intel.com>

Currently, dpdk has no ability to know which type of driver(
vfio-pci/igb_uio/uio_pci_generic) the device used. It only can
check whether vfio is enabled or not staticly.

It really useful to have the flag, becasue different type need to
handle differently in runtime. For example, pci memory map,
pot hotplug, and so on.

This patch add a flag field for pci device to solve above issue.

This patch series adds a dynamic port hotplug framework to DPDK.
With the patches, DPDK apps can attach or detach ports at runtime.

The basic concept of the port hotplug is like followings.
- DPDK apps must have responsibility to manage ports.
  DPDK apps only know which ports are attached or detached at the moment.
  The port hotplug framework is implemented to allow DPDK apps to manage ports.
  For example, when DPDK apps call port attach function, attached port number
  will be returned. Also, DPDK apps can detach port by port number.
- Kernel support is needed for attaching or detaching physical device ports.
  To attach a new physical device port, the device will be recognized by
  userspace directly I/O framework in kernel at first. Then DPDK apps can
  call the port hotplug functions to attach ports.
  For detaching, steps are vice versa.
- Before detach ports, ports must be stopped and closed.
  DPDK application must call rte_eth_dev_stop() and rte_eth_dev_close() before
  detaching ports. These function will call finalization codes of PMDs.
  But so far, no PMD frees all resources allocated by initialization.
  It means PMDs are needed to be fixed to support the port hotplug.
  'RTE_PCI_DRV_DETACHABLE' is a new flag indicating a PMD supports detaching.
  Without this flag, detaching will be failed.
- Mustn't affect legacy DPDK apps.
  No DPDK EAL behavior is changed, if the port hotplug functions are't called.
  So all legacy DPDK apps can still work without modifications.

And a few limitations.
- The port hotplug functions are not thread safe.
  DPDK apps should handle it.
- Only support Linux and igb_uio so far.
  BSD and VFIO is not supported. I will send VFIO patches at least, but I don't
  have a plan to submit BSD patch so far.


Here is port hotplug APIs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
 * Attach a new device.
 *
 * @param devargs
 *   A pointer to a strings array describing the new device
 *   to be attached. The strings should be a pci address like
 *   '0000:01:00.0' or virtual device name like 'eth_pcap0'.
 * @param port_id
 *  A pointer to a port identifier actually attached.
 * @return
 *  0 on success and port_id is filled, negative on error
 */
int rte_eal_dev_attach(const char *devargs, uint8_t *port_id);

/**
 * Detach a device.
 *
 * @param port_id
 *   The port identifier of the device to detach.
 * @param addr
 *  A pointer to a device name actually detached.
 * @return
 *  0 on success and devname is filled, negative on error
 */
int rte_eal_dev_detach(uint8_t port_id, char *devname);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This patch series are for DPDK EAL. To use port hotplug function by DPDK apps,
each PMD should be fixed to support 'RTE_PCI_DRV_DETACHABLE' flag. Please check
a patch for pcap PMD.

Also, please check testpmd patch. It will show you how to fix your legacy
applications to support port hotplug feature.

PATCH v8 changes
 - Fix Makefile and add version map file.
 - Add missing symbol in version map.
 - Fix pci_scan_one() to update sysfs values.
   (Thanks to Qiu, Michael and Iremonger, Bernard)
 - NONE_TRACE is replaced by NO_TRACE.
 - Fix typo.

   function of PMD. To do this, below changes also be applied.
   - Fix a parameter of rte_eth_dev_free().
   - Use rte_eth_dev structure as the paramter of rte_eth_dev_free().

PATCH v5 changes
 - Add runtime check passthrough driver type, like vfio-pci, igb_uio
   and uio_pci_generic.
   This was done by Qiu, Michael. Thanks a lot.
 - Change function names like below.
   - rte_eal_dev_find_and_invoke() to rte_eal_vdev_find_and_invoke().

 - Refashion a few functions.
   (Thanks to Iremonger, Bernard)
