*
* This API offers the ability to register options to the EAL command line and
* map those options to functions that will be executed at the end of EAL
* initialization. These options will be available as part of the EAL command
* line of applications and are dynamically managed.
*
* This is used primarily by DPDK libraries offering command line options.
* Currently, this API is limited to registering options without argument.
*
* The register API can be used to resolve circular dependency issues
* between EAL and the library. The library uses EAL, but is also initialized
* by EAL. Hence, EAL depends on the init function of the library. The API
* introduced in rte_option allows us to register the library init with EAL
* (passing a function pointer) and avoid the circular dependency.
