HI Tomasz,


Sorry, my English is wrong.
'rte_null_pmd' is defined like below.

static struct eth_driver rte_null_pmd = {
        .pci_drv = {
                .name = "rte_null_pmd",
                .drv_flags = RTE_PCI_DRV_DETACHABLE,
        },
};

I guess you may be able to use 'rte_null_pmd' instead of allocating one
more eth_driver structure like below.

    struct eth_driver *eth_drv = NULL;
    eth_drv = rte_zmalloc_socket(name, sizeof(*eth_drv), 0, numa_node);

Is it possible to use 'rte_null_pmd'?
