Hi Allain,

Overall PMD looks good to me.

Only can you please update documentation based on tech board decision [1].

Repeating related part here:
"
It should be clearly stated  that right now AVP PMD is limited to use
with WindRiver hypervisor and for most cases virtio is still a preferred
virtual device to use with QEMU.
"

Thanks,
ferruh
