tools: query binaries for HW and other support information
This tool searches for the primer sting PMD_DRIVER_INFO= in any ELF binary,
and, if found parses the remainder of the string as a json encoded string,
outputting the results in either a human readable or raw, script parseable
format
Note that, in the case of dynamically linked applications, pmdinfo.py will
scan for implicitly linked PMDs by searching the specified binaries
.dynamic section for DT_NEEDED entries that contain the substring
librte_pmd. The DT_RUNPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, /usr/lib and /lib are
searched for these libraries, in that order
If a file is specified with no path, it is assumed to be a PMD DSO, and the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, /usr/lib[64]/ and /lib[64] is searched for it
Currently the tool can output data in 3 formats:
a) raw, suitable for scripting, where the raw JSON strings are dumped out
b) table format (default) where hex pci ids are dumped in a table format
c) pretty, where a user supplied pci.ids file is used to print out vendor
and device strings
