* **Added support for representing buses in EAL**
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.
* **Added generic EAL API for I/O device memory read/write operations.**
This API introduces 8-bit, 16-bit, 32bit, 64bit I/O device
