Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] PCI: ABI change request for adding new field
in rte_pci_id structure

From: Ziye <redacted>

The purpose of this patch is used to add a new field "class" in rte_pci_id
structure. The new class field includes class_id, subcalss_id, programming
interface of a pci device.
With this field, we can identify pci device by its class info, which can be more
flexible instead of probing the device by vendor_id OR device_id OR
subvendor_id OR subdevice_id.
For example, we can probe all nvme devices by class field, which can be quite
convenient.
