What I meant is, supporting VA vs PA is function of IOMMU(not the device attribute).
Ie. Device makes the bus master request, if IOMMU available and enabled in the SYSTEM ,
It goes over IOMMU and translate the IOVA to physical address.
Another way to put is, Is there any _PCIe_ device which need/requires
RTE_PCI_DRV_NEED_IOVA_AS_PA in rte_pci_driver.drv_flags
