It's not vendor specific: Engine id refers to an engine which is a device
on a bus, the engine could have multiple queue pairs or virtual functions.
The driver can manage them to present multiple vhost ports with vDPA to
application, so logically the concept of device id exists.
In a lot of acceleration cases, application needs to be able to choose the
exact port to use instead of letting the driver to decide (because it does
make a difference), therefore it's necessary to expose the device id here.
