> +  A new structure ``rte_bus`` is introduced in EAL. This allows for
> + devices to  be represented by buses they are connected to. A new bus
> + can be added to  DPDK by extending the ``rte_bus`` structure and
> + implementing the scan and  probe functions. Once a new bus is
> + registered using provided APIs, new  devices can be detected and
> initialized using bus scan and probe callbacks.

> +  With this change, devices other than PCI or VDEV type can also be
> + represented  in DPDK framework.
