Might be.

Why is that?
What prevents us decide who will manage that device *before* allocating port of it?
IMO we do have all needed information at that stage.

By 'asynchronous' here you mean it would be handled in the EAL interrupt thread
or something different?
Anyway, I suppose you do need a function inside DPDK that will do the actual work in response
on hotplug event, right?
That's what I refer to as 'hotplug routine' above.

Ok, if it is just a temporary code, that would be removed soon -
then it definitely seems wrong to modify tespmd (or any other user app)
to comply with that temporary solution.
