That's fine. The only concern part is when to call reset API from
application. Can we say on RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event, application
needs to call the reset API? I think, it is important to specify when
application need to call this API, otherwise this api behavior will be
tightly coupled with underneath PMD. Side effect is, a new, non portable PMD specific API.
If a PMD wishes to fixup some overflow case(as an example), by invoking the reset API from
the application BUT same case may not valid for another PMD hence it
will create unexpected behavior from application based on the underneath PMD.
if RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event is not expected event to call the
reset API then create a new event or if it needs to be called in
RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET then update the API documentation.
