A mempool device is set of PCIe vfs.
On Octeontx HW, each mempool devices are enumerated as
separate SRIOV VF PCIe device.
In order to expose as a mempool device:
On PCIe probe, the driver stores the information associated with the
PCIe device and later upon application pool request
(e.g. rte_mempool_create_empty), Infrastructure creates a pool device
with earlier probed PCIe VF devices.
