Previously "eth_" was the prefix for the virtual devices, we have renamed it to
"net_" [1], for this new PMD, can you please use 'net_pfe' for consistency?

Also the driver name is 'ppfe', it is under 'net/ppfe' folder, but the device
name is 'pfe'. Is there any specific reason for this?
Would it be better to stick 'pfe' or 'ppfe' everywhere?


[1]
That is why we have alias device names, to keep backward compatibility for "eth_".
