When passing extra arguments in EAL option --vdev, to create
ring ethdevs, API was creating three ethdevs, even if there
was just one argument, such as CREATE.

Adding support to rte_eth_dev_data structure to support unique
name identifier for ethdevs to support adding slave ethdevs
(specifically virtual devices which have no public unique
identifier) to a link bonding device. This changes the API
rte_eth_dev_allocate() to require a const char *name when
allocating a ethdev, which also verifies that the name is
unique and hasn’t been already used by an existed allocated
rte_eth_dev. Also contains updates to virtual pmd’s to now call
the API with a name parameter.

The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.
Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.

This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

Currently, physical device pmds use a separate initalization path
(rte_pmd_init_all) while virtual devices use a constructor registration and
rte_eal_dev_init. Theres no reason to have them be separate. This patch
removes the vdev specific nomenclature from the vdev init path and makes it more
generic for use with all pmds. This is the first step in converting the
physical device pmds to using the same constructor based registration path that
the virtual devices use.

Convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option. Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.
Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some
general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which
were being called by example from the test application in the app/test
directory. Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach,
eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called
internally to the dpdk core library. To correct this I've removed those
functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization
time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action>
where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE. I've tested out the functionality of
the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the
called functions from the test utility. This will affect how the test utility
is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command
line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the
ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with. I
have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break
existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can
migrate off them.

Instead of having a list of virtual device drivers in EAL code, add an
API to register drivers. Thanks to this new registration method, we can
remove the references to pmd_ring, pmd_pcap and pmd_xenvirt in EAL code.
This also enables the ability to register a virtual device driver as
a shared library.
The registration is done in an init function flaged with
__attribute__((constructor)). The new convention is to name this
function rte_pmd_xyz_init(). The per-device init function is renamed
rte_pmd_xyz_devinit().
By the way the internal PMDs are now also .so/standalone ready. Let's do
it later on. It will be required to ease maintenance.

Remove old whitelist code:
- remove references to rte_pmd_ring, rte_pmd_pcap and pmd_xenvirt in
is_valid_wl_entry() as we want to be able to register external virtual
drivers as a shared library. Moreover this code was duplicated with
dev_types[] from eal_common_pci.c
- eal_common_whitelist.c was badly named: it was able to process PCI
devices white list and the registration of virtual devices
- the parsing code was complex: all arguments were prepended in
one string dev_list_str[4096], then split again
Use the newly introduced rte_devargs to get:
- the PCI white list
- the PCI black list
- the list of virtual devices
Rework the tests:
- a part of the whitelist test can be removed as it is now tested
in app/test/test_devargs.c
- the other parts are just reworked to adapt them to the new API
This commit induce a small API modification: it is not possible to specify
several devices per "--use-device" option. This notation was anyway a bit
cryptic. Ex:
--use-device="eth_ring0,eth_pcap0;iface=ixgbe0"
now becomes:
--use-device="eth_ring0" --use-device="eth_pcap0;iface=ixgbe0"
On the other hand, it is now possible to work in PCI blacklist mode and
instanciate virtual drivers, which was not possible before this patch.
Test result:
./app/test -c 0x15 -n 3 -m 64
RTE>>devargs_autotest
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <08:1>
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <00.1>
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <foo>
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <>
EAL: invalid PCI identifier <000f:0:0>
Test OK

Now that rte_kvargs is a generic library, there is no need to have an argument
for the driver name in rte_kvargs_tokenize() and rte_kvargs_parse()
prototypes. This argument was only used to log the driver name in case of
error. Instead, we can add a log in init function of pmd_pcap and pmd_ring.
