[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/4] nfp-uio: new uio driver for netronome nfp6000 card

Submitting just the PMD for integration makes sense. I will remove all the references to nfp_uio. My doubt is with documentation. Working with the NFP PMD will not be possible without nfp_uio. We could modify the documentation saying it is possible to use igb_uio, but this is not the right thing

Wow! This is just what we (likely) need. We could have that support in our BSP but this is something yet to be approved. Setting per VF pci bus master and pci mask should also be added to BSP. Current PMD submitted would need nfp_uio by now for LSC interrupt support. As I said, this is not
