+librte-pmd-* and DPDK PMD autoloading:

+PMD driver autoloading. DPDK since its split into several libraries does not
+have all PMD drivers available by default. One always can use EAL argument -d
+to provide a path to an extra .so file.
+TO ease daily usage RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH is set to
+/usr/lib/$(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/dpdk-pmds/.
+Each librte-pmd-* package will place a symlink in there which makes DPDK load
+and register it as PMD on startup.
+This can also be used to globally enable extra PMD drivers as you can link
+self-provided .so files in there to be considered.
