Implementing hotplug requires integration with the OS more than any additional
DPDK support. What the Brocade vRouter does is leverage the existing Linux
udev infrastructure to send a message to the router application which then
initializes and sets up the new hardware. Most of the DPDK changes are upstream
already and involve being able to dynamically add ports on the fly.
