[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] tools: Fix some strings and functions regarding VFIO support

[Andre Richter]

This patch fixes several minor issues in setup.sh:

     - show_nics() would not display the current Ethernet settings if
       the user only loads the vfio-pci module, b/c it only checks for
       presence of igb_uio. Fix this by adding a check for vfio-pci.

     - unbind_nics(): Fix option naming and string inside function.

     - Exchange a forgotten "igb_uio" with "vfio-pci" in a comment.

Ah sorry, I wonder where that went missing.
I'll resend.
