Thanks, Anatoly.

Maxime, could you enlighten me a bit? I basically would like to know 
whether I should be able to make my 32-bit dpdk application work with 
virtio-pci-net and vfio-pci (with a 64-bit kernel), or if I should do 
the effort to port to 64-bit (which I would like to avoid for now).

Thank you
John
