Hi,

I was running some crypto unit tests and I realized that the tests do not pass anymore,
because the creation of the software crypto device fails, due to this patch.

The reason is that the name of the pmd has changed (some names have changed,
like eth_pcap to pcap, whereas others have remained the same, like eth_null),
so the name passed to rte_eal_vdev_init has to be changed.

I am not sure if that is going to cause any problems, because users will have to
change their code because of this name change.

Also, if now the name is being set with PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER,
then we should remove it from the rte_driver structure, right?

static struct rte_driver pmd_ring_drv = {
        .name = "eth_ring", <-- This is being overwritten by PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER?
        .type = PMD_VDEV,
        .init = rte_pmd_ring_devinit,
        .uninit = rte_pmd_ring_devuninit,
};

PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER(pmd_ring_drv, eth_ring);

Pablo
