Dharmik,
Ok, thanks.
That matches what I found in the qat documentation:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/cryptodevs/qat.html#binding-the-available-vfs-to-the-vfio-pci-driver


Patrick,
Sorry for jumping in this thread, but to be clear, this
disable_denylist option is really specific to this model of
quickassist crypto card.
It must not be enabled in other setups using vfio.
