I would work on it, however, I don't see all the tasks that are to be done. That's why I was waiting to finalize those patchs by David or Thomas. For me, the important things were to generalize certain things to remove dependency on PCI. This is mostly done (otherwise the SoC patchset couldn't be done in the way I've posted it). > > Now, there is some pending work to remove pmd_type. Next, to find out some generalization of rte_pci_device/driver to create rte_device/driver (I've posted several suggestions in the 0000 of SoC patchset). > > What more? We need a clean devargs API in EAL, not directly related to hotplug. Then the hotplug can benefit of the devargs API as any other device config. The EAL resources (also called devices) need an unique naming convention.
