It might have been an issue IMO with a structure exposed as an array, i.e. rte_eth_devices[].
But I thought this kind of ABI break was the kind that would be accepted between two LTS.

The only potential risk is in using a new version librte_eal.so with an older librte_bus_xxx.so
But I think it is fair to expect installations to be internally consistent.

Maybe we could have a runtime warning when loading mismatched versions
(if there isn't one already) -- each librte_*.so could have an internal version stamp and alignment could
be checked through a constructor in each lib?
