I will remove all the references to nfp_uio. My doubt is with documentation. Working with the NFP PMD will not be possible without nfp_uio. We could modify the documentation saying it is possible to use igb_uio, but this is not the right thing to do (pci mask will be wrong). So, would it be acceptable to submit a new PMD without any documentation by now? I prefer this for the sake of integration than giving wrong or incomplete documentation.
