[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/1] pci: default to whitelist mode

[Gaetan Rivet <gaetan.rivet@6wind.com>]

Expects all devices to be explicitly defined before being probed.

The blacklist mode can be prone to errors, coaxing users in capturing
devices that could be used for management or otherwise.
The whitelist mode offers users more control and highlight mistakes by
making them visible on the command line.

This is more useful to have a clear idea of the state of the system used,
which is better in the context of standalone / headless applications.

Using the -b option will revert to the original behavior.
