Ah, I thought these were the pmds that you were building that exist in
dpdk/lib/librte_<vmxnet3|virtio>, etc.

Yeah, if they're separate git trees, they can be separate specs.  That said
though, it strongly begs the question as to why you are keeping open source pmds
outside of the dpdk library?  That really doesn't make much sense,  whats
preventing that integration (followed by the integration of the spec files)?
