Can we keep rte_pci_register(), or a new variation of it that keeps the
rte_pci_driver structure hidden?  Hiding rte_pci_register() would mean
SPDK can no longer work with a packaged DPDK.  Or the DPDK packages
would need to set enable_driver_sdk which I suspect is not the intent.

What do you think if SPDK maintains a copy of the internal headers?

The internal API are not supposed to change that often, but we (DPDK)
won't guarantee it.
This would still put some maintenance burden on SPDK but I think it is
a good compromise.

I did a PoC this morning and put patches in my forked repo:
