  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 an ethdev specified by port
  identifier.
- rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_addr()
  The function returns a port identifier of an ethdev specified by
  pci address.
- rte_eth_dev_get_name_by_port()
  The function returns a unique identifier name of an 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.

v7:
- Add pt_driver checking to rte_eth_dev_check_detachable().
  (Thanks to Qiu, Michael)
v5:
- Fix return value of below functions.
  rte_eth_dev_get_changed_port().
  rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_addr().
v4:
- Add parameter checking.
v3:
- Fix if-condition bug while comparing pci addresses.
- Add error checking codes.

Hi Tetsuya,

This function should probably have an input parameter for the size of the devs buffer.
This input parameter should be used with the memcpy function to ensure that nothing is overwritten.

Regards,

Bernard.

Hi Bernard,

I am sorry that I forgot to fix issues your suggested.
(I checked the patchwork to submit v7 patches, and I forgot that cover
letter wasn't involved in. So all suggestion to cover letter were not
involved in v7 patches. I am sorry for that.)
I will fix your all suggestions and submit again by this weekend.

Regards,
Tetsuya
