> The registration of an external vdev driver (a .so library) is done in a
> function that has the ((constructor)) attribute. This function is called
> when dlopen(driver.so) is invoked.
> 
> As a result, we need to do the dlopen() before calling
> rte_eal_vdev_init() that calls the initialization functions of all
> registered drivers.
