[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: don't crash if one pci device fails

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

If there is a failure to setup one pci device, there maybe other
devices that can be initialized. Don't call rte_exit which
is a forced crash, pass the error back to the
application to decide what it wants to do.

Might be good idea to return a positive value for the
number of devices found, but that would break ABI.
