While working on applications(l2fwd, testpmd) with PMD(memif, Tun|Tap
and some other) I have noticed that the .probe function of
rte_vdev_driver structure is called in rte_eal_init() and .remove
function of rte_vdev_driver structure is NEVER called, even after
exiting the application.

My Question is How/When .remove function of rte_vdev_driver structure is called.

Thanks,
M. Bilal
