This patch initiate refactoring of Virtio PCI, by introducing
a new device structure for PCI-specific metadata.

This works, but this patch seems artificial.

The eth_virtio_dev_init expects dev->data->dev_private to be a virtio_hw object.
You can introduce this later in the series when really needed.

I propose to squash it into patch 5, which moves PCI specific init to a
dedicated file.

Is that OK for you?

Or leave this commit like this but add a check on the virtio_hw field
being the first field of the bus specific objects.
Something like:
RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct virtio_pci_dev, hw) != 0);

+ the same with virtio_user in the relevant patch.

I like the idea, will be done in v2.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Maxime
