KNI uses / depends pci, I am not sure what to fix here.

The problem to enable the KNI is build dependency problem, right?

I guess problem will be fixes if we can build in following order:
- lib/eal
- drivers/bus
- lib
- drivers

This was the case when bus drives compiled within eal. What do you think
about this build order?
