Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH RFC 2/3] eal: don't call rte_eal_iopl_init unconditionnally
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 16:11:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1409062300-17004-3-git-send-email-david.marchand@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1409062300-17004-1-git-send-email-david.marchand@6wind.com>

There is no need for ioport access for applications that won't use virtio pmds.
Make rte_eal_iopl_init() non-static so that it is called from pmds that need it.
