DPDK API does not propagate the reason of device allocation failure from rte_eth_dev_allocate() up to the DPDK application (e.g. Open vSwitch). Log level of associated log entries was changed to warning. So user can find additional details in log files also in production systems, where debug messages cannot be turned on.
