Should I get a token from my head? Any?

Is it possible to parse and handle devargs using rte_kvargs.h?

I think that the function must return error which is handled
by the caller when something bad happens (e.g. invalid
UUID).

Is it really required to purge? Why? If yes, it should be explained in
the comment above.

May be it would be better if vfio_pci_vf_token_arg()
initializes it anyway instead of duplication init
in two places?

Such comments are useles and just eat space adding  nothing
useful. Please, make it useful and explain what is behind the
parameter, when it is necessary, why? Should it be specified
for PF case, VF case, both?

"rte_uuid_t vf_token" looks confusing. Shouldn't it be
"rte_uuid_t *vf_token"?
