Unfortunately this is not sufficient. There is still
rte_eventdev_pmd.h including rte_pci.h. As you said, it should be
possible for the PMD API to include rte_pci.h, but this is at the
condition that this layer is only included by PMDs, not the library
itself.

make
rm build/include/rte_pci.h
make lib/librte_eventdev_sub

Should allow you to verify that everything is fine.

v3:
Removed the bus dependency by spliting lib/librte_eventdev/rte_eventdev_pmd_pci.h

Jerin Jacob (4):
  eventdev: remove PCI dependency from generic data structures
  eventdev: restructure event PMD release function
  eventdev: make PCI probe and remove functions optional

Hi Jerin,

It works with the PCI bus now, good job.
Small problem however: to compile drivers/event/sw/sw_evdev.c, two includes were
missing:

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <rte_debug.h>

I added both to rte_eventdev_pmd_vdev.h to quickly fix this and test the
compilation otherwise, but maybe this is only necessary for sw_evdev.c.

Thanks

I tested x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc + dpdk.org master on following
versions of gcc. I couldn't see the compilation issue. Anyway, I will
send the next version with suggested header file changes.

gcc version 4.9.2 20150212 (Red Hat 4.9.2-6) (GCC) 
gcc version 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-7) (GCC) 
gcc version 7.1.1 20170528 (GCC)
