Some drivers like virtual ones don't specify any driver pointer in the
structure rte_eth_dev.

To prevent segfault, we should check if this pointer is NULL before
dereferencing it.

It is not clear what the problem is.
And the driver fields should probably be removed or changed as it too

related to the PCI driver.

It does look odd to me as well, quickly went through head, and did not see
a case where this could happen.
Maxime is not available at the moment, so I think I will just drop this
patch.

How about this patchset rebased on head with just the first two patches ?
