Several users have run into problems where the MLX drivers were not
enabled in their build. And then trying to run their DPDK
application on Azure. What happens is that all packets
go over the slow path, and failsafe repeatedly probes for never
existing sub-device.

Both Mellanox drivers should be checked. MLX4 for current versions,
and MLX5 for future upgrades. This code is only called if Hyper-V/Azure
is detected.
