Running with igb-uio as a non priviledged user is not possible (or, at
best, makes little sense).

I don't have a full list, here is what I have in mind.

For non mellanox devices, you'll have to rely on vfio-pci bound
devices and setup access to those fds.
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/rhel/usr_lib_udev_rules.d_91-vfio.rules

For mellanox devices and some parts of dpdk, you need (quite) some capabilities:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/daemon-unix.c#L812

There are also hugepages accesses to consider:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovs-vswitchd.service.in#L20

There are selinux considerations too.
