[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bonding: support bifurcated driver in eal cli using --vdev

[Gowrishankar <gowrishankar.m@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

At present, creating bonding devices using --vdev is broken for PMD like
mlx5 as it is neither UIO nor VFIO based and hence PMD driver is unknown
to find_port_id_by_pci_addr(), as below.

testpmd <EAL args> --vdev 'net_bonding0,mode=1,slave=<PCI>,socket_id=0'

PMD: bond_ethdev_parse_slave_port_kvarg(150) - Invalid slave port value
 (<PCI ID>) specified
EAL: Failed to parse slave ports for bonded device net_bonding0

This patch adds RTE_KDRV_BIFURCATED in rte_kernel_driver for the PMD
driver like mlx5 to be a known one.
