has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
targets release 17.05.
* vfio: Some functions are planned to be exported outside librte_eal in 17.05.
VFIO APIs like ``vfio_setup_device``, ``vfio_get_group_fd`` can be used by
subsystem other than EAL/PCI. For that, these need to be exported symbols.
Such APIs are planned to be renamed according to ``rte_*`` naming convention
and exported from librte_eal.
* The PCI and VDEV subsystems will be converted as drivers of the new bus model.
It will imply some EAL API changes in 17.05.
