Note that the patch are experimental for use and might be removed without prior notice. This patch set made below changes: 1. Make an enhancement on interface to serve VF, so both Linux and DPDK VF can be well served. 2. Change API version number so both DPDK and Linux VF can recognize and select proper command and data structure to request service. But the sacrifice is DPDK VF can't identify host driver (Linux or DPDK) and extended function provided in DPDK PF host driver can't be used. This situation will change after negotiate with Linux maintainer to provide a better mechanism to identify both PF and VF function.
