I agree that this is not clear. First thing however: this is a limit on
the device name length, not bus.

This problem is fixed in [1], as a single common device name location is
defined. The problem is that it is in another patchset (even if both are
closely linked and were only separated to ease integration).

This limit was currently taken from the arbitrary limit of device in
name in the original rte_devargs for virtual devices. I think it could
be exported as a define by rte_dev.h, used there and reused in [1] to
define the new rte_devargs structure.

Would that be ok with you?

For this release cycle the discussion was mostly about forbidding (or
not forbidding) characters in bus names. This character is one
limitation previously defined for device names, to separate the device
name from its kvargs.

I am thus following the current rte_devargs API.
Not sure if that's documented. There are examples in doc, but maybe this
device name limitation is not explicitly said.

No problem, thanks for reviewing so quickly this patchset.
