Mm, as I read the auxiliary bus .parse() code, would a simple
"auxiliary:" be enough?
Yes. verified.
Otherwise, I looked at the other buses .parse()/.scan(), and ended up with:

LGTM.
svec_terminate(&args);
optind = 1;
It seems to cover all DPDK builtin buses (iiuc, other buses .scan()
don't populate devices).
I drafted a DPDK change for disabling the whole probing at init via a
single --no-device-probe knob (for now, it would be conflicting with
any -a/-b options).
I'll probably submit it for v26.07.
