> Is anyone working to include support for the mlx5 PMD under FreeBSD?

I think Stephen (Cc) looked at it.

Cc also mlx5 maintainers.

> Though not important, why did Mellanox build a PMD that relied on the kernel driver being in place unlike most other PMDs? 

Because it allows to choose which flows go to DPDK and which ones
