OK, this is probably a temporary solution.
I am OK to let it enter in DPDK 16.11 and starts some discussions.
That's why I'll try to sum up the situation for this patchset and
the other one (API for VF management).
The VF features are not yet enough standardized.
So the functions to manage them from the PF will be in some specific
headers (drivers/net/ixgbe/rte_pmd_ixgbe.h in this case).
They could be promoted in the generic ethdev API if it appears to be
generic enough.
There can be also some application callbacks called from the drivers
with a specific signature:
- a "generic" event type for VF
- a specific parameter defined in the driver
Obviously, we cannot have different meanings of this event depending
on the driver in use. So we must have something more robust when
implementing such feature in a second driver.
As there is no obvious solution, the pragmatic approach is to
accept this first specific implementation while waiting for a better idea.
