Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] igb_uio: fix compability on old kernel

["Sanford, Robert" <rsanford@akamai.com>]

Hi Thomas,

Not that I would *like* to fix this, but I *need* to fix it. We are using
CentOS 6.5, which I believe is based on RHEL. We have kernel
2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64.

I realize that we need to add/change ifdefs around pci_num_vf,
pci_intx_mask_supported, and pci_check_and_mask_intx in igb_uio/compat.h.
Any more specific suggestions on how to (elegantly) fix it for us, but not
break it for anyone else?
