For generic eal, there is an explicit request to detach the device, I am
not sure about returning success but not releasing the resources based
on PMD flag. How this will work with hotplug?


And specific to your case, -thanks for clarification, since no eth_dev
created for SQS VF, rte_eth_dev_pci_generic_remove() won't be useful but
assuming you have implemented your remove(), can it be possible to
detect SQS VF and act accordingly, or just return error perhaps if you
cannot detach that VF?
