Hi Devendra,
I don't know the exact details of the dpdk support for non-pci devices,
however I think it could be interesting for you:
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2016-October/243396.html,
especially the vdev support.
(Be aware that the mail list archive is having some troubles this days).

Hi,
ovs-dpdk supports following four types of device names
dpdk
dpdkr
dpdkvhostuser
dpdkvhostuserclient
my ethernet device is non-pci vdev. Does openvswitch support DPDK
vdev devices ?
using ovs-vsctl is there a way to create ovs interface which is
mapped to a DPDK vdev device ?

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
