a599eb31f2 event/sw: add service capability
This commit shows how easy it is to enable a specific
DPDK component with a service callback, in order to get
CPU cycles for it.

The beauty of this method is that the service is unaware
of how much CPU time it is getting - the application can
decide how to split and slice cores and map them to the
registered services.

2f6fec5390 vdev: remove eal prefix
The VDEV code will move to the bus drivers directory.
Rename functions from rte_eal_vdev_ to rte_vdev_
to prepare the move of the driver out of EAL.

The prefix rte_eal_vdrv_ is also renamed to rte_vdev_.
It was used for registration of vdev drivers.
