Currently there is no alternative API
providing the same functionality as with ``repr_matching_en`` set to 0.
+
+* eal: The entire VFIO API (``rte_vfio_*``) will be made internal only, and will only be available to EAL and drivers.
+ Group-based API (``rte_vfio_*_group_*``) will be removed and replaced with unified container device assignment API.
+ This change will be made in 26.11 release.
