ovs-dpdk supports following four types of device names

I am going to implement the support for my non-pci DPDK vdev ethernet
device in openvswitch. A head start will be really appreciated.
So far what I have understood is that I will need to add a new "struct
netdev_class" for my device in lib/netdev-dpdk.c
just like
static const struct netdev_class dpdk_class =
NETDEV_DPDK_CLASS(
"dpdk",
netdev_dpdk_construct,
netdev_dpdk_destruct,
netdev_dpdk_set_config,
netdev_dpdk_set_tx_multiq,
netdev_dpdk_eth_send,
netdev_dpdk_get_carrier,
netdev_dpdk_get_stats,
netdev_dpdk_get_features,
netdev_dpdk_get_status,
netdev_dpdk_reconfigure,
netdev_dpdk_rxq_recv);
will this be sufficient or I will need to change something else also ?
I there a better way to add support for DPDK vdev in openvswitch ?
Thanks and Regards,
Devendra
