+The uio_pci_generic module bind failed in X710/XL710/XXV710
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+ The “uio_pci_generic” module is not supported by XL710, since the errata of XL710
+ states that the Interrupt Status bit is not implemented. The errata is the item #71
+ from the `xl710 controller spec
+ <http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/embedded/products/networking/xl710-10-40-controller-spec-update.html>`_.
+ The hw limitation is the same as other X710/XXV710 NICs.
+
+**Implication**:
+ When bind the “uio_pci_generic” module, it probes device and check the Interrupt Status
+ bit. Since it is not supported by X710/XL710/XXV710, it return a *failed* value. The statement
+ that these products don’t support INTx masking, is indicated in the related `linux kernel commit
+ < https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/drivers/pci/quirks.c?id=8bcf4525c5d43306c5fd07e132bc8650e3491aec>`_.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+ Do not bind the “uio_pci_generic” module in X710/XL710/XXV710 NICs.
+
+**Affected Environment/Platform**:
+ All.
+
+**Driver/Module**:
+ Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
