SZE is our Straight ZEro copy technology for fast data transfers between
hardware and RAM, 2 is its second version, _cv3 denotes compatibility with
our third generation of FPGA cards. Liberouter is the name of our team,
which does also other, non-hardware stuff.

In the future we want to rewrite this PMD to be independent on sze library
and kernel modules - that could also further improve performance a little.
