from bus and device names to ``struct rte_devargs``.

+ This new behaviour is enabled per driver for a migration period.

* A new device flag, RTE_ETH_DEV_NOLIVE_MAC_ADDR, changes the order of
actions inside rte_eth_dev_start regarding MAC set. Some NICs do not
support MAC changes once the port has started and with this new device
