👑 Detailed Description 👑

so like… this is the Structure that stores a device given by the user with its arguments. literally the vibe container for your device config 🫙✨

A user device is a physical or a virtual device given by the user to the DPDK application at startup through command line arguments. yes bestie, you picked it, you passed it in, and this struct remembers it 💅

The structure stores the configuration of the device, its PCI identifier if it's a PCI device or the driver name if it's a virtual device. iconic behaviour, honestly 🌈
