Export the rte_dmadevices array and the allocate and release functions
which are needed by PMDs.

rte_dmadevices[] might be an issue for inline accesses, but pmd
allocate/release should be internal (driver only).

So if I understand correctly, they still need to be in the version.map

drivers still need them exported, so yes they must be in version.map
with INTERNAL version.

file, but with "interal" versioning rather than "experimental", right?

But I would move them too in a separate header, for drivers, like
ethdev_driver.h.
And the __rte_internal tag will be needed at their declarations.
