* **Added auxiliary bus support.**
Auxiliary bus provides a way to split function into child-devices
An auxiliary bus provides a way to split a function into child-devices
representing sub-domains of functionality. Each auxiliary device
represents a part of its parent functionality.
* **Added XZ compressed firmware support.**
Using ``rte_firmware_read``, a driver can now handle XZ compressed firmware
in a transparent way, with EAL uncompressing using libarchive if this library
