No problem with that, if vdev-netvsc is good for you, I can update it in v2
if needed.
I'm just curious, I was under the impression both drivers would remain kind
of complementary pending various API updates, in which case wouldn't it make
sense to use "netvsc" as the better name for the NetVSC PMD? ("hyperv" being
more a use case than a true PMD)
Otherwise I also don't mind overwriting the current "hyperv" PMD code base
with yours as soon as it's ready, this will most likely make it redundant
anyway.
