[4/4] eal: cache last directory permissions checked
Checks
Commit Message
When loading a directory of drivers, we check the same hierarchy multiple
times. If we just cache the last directory checked, this avoids repeated
checks of the same path, since all drivers in that path have been added to
the list consecutively.
