The PCI and virtual bus are planned to be moved to the generic
drivers/bus directory in v17.08. For this change to be possible, the EAL
must be made completely independent.
The rte_devargs structure currently holds device representation internal
to those two busses. It must be made generic before this work can be
completed.
Instead of using either a driver name for a vdev or a PCI address for a
PCI device, a devargs structure will have to be able to describe any
possible device on all busses, without introducing dependencies on
any bus-specific device representation. This will break the ABI for this
structure.
Additionally, an evolution will occur regarding the device parsing
from the command-line. A user must be able to set which bus will handle
which device, and this setting is integral to the definition of a
device.
The format has not yet been formally defined, but a proposition will
follow soon for a new command line parameter format for all devices.

Extended xstats API in ethdev library to allow grouping of stats
logically so they can be retrieved per logical grouping managed
by the application.
Added new functions rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id and
rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id using additional arguments (in compare
to rte_eth_xstats_get_names and rte_eth_xstats_get) - array of ids
and array of values.
doc: add description for modified xstats API
Documentation change for new extended statistics API functions.
The old API only allows retrieval of *all* of the NIC statistics
at once. Given this requires a MMIO read PCI transaction per statistic
it is an inefficient way of retrieving just a few key statistics.
Often a monitoring agent only has an interest in a few key statistics,
and the old API forces wasting CPU time and PCIe bandwidth in retrieving
*all* statistics; even those that the application didn't explicitly
show an interest in.
The new, more flexible API allow retrieval of statistics per ID.
If a PMD wishes, it can be implemented to read just the required
NIC registers. As a result, the monitoring application no longer wastes
PCIe bandwidth and CPU time.

This new API allows reacting to a device removal.
A device removal is the sudden disappearance of a device from its
bus.
PMDs implementing support for this notification guarantee that the removal
of the underlying device does not incur a risk to the application.
In particular, Rx/Tx bursts and all other functions can still be called
(albeit likely returning errors) without triggering a crash, irrespective
of an application handling this event.
