Yep, agreed. That's why I was keep pushing Huawei for ACK and
validation team for testing, although I have tested that. :)

That sounds better to me. And that's also what I want to comment on
your another patch [09/14], that we should try to avoid getting UIO/VFIO
stuff inside virtio pmd driver, unless it's a must. (yes, I know
UIO is already an example here, but I don't like it, and badly, I don't
have the time to check if I can remove it.)

Sorry, very limited VFIO and noiommu knowledge, and I can't answer, so
far.
