-  As such, ``rte_devargs`` device representation will change.

-  - The enum ``rte_devtype`` was used to identify a bus and will disappear.

+  In order to optimize the DPDK PCI enumeration management, ``RTE_KDRV_NONE``
+  based device driver probing will be removed in v20.08.
+  The legacy virtio is the only consumer of ``RTE_KDRV_NONE`` based device
