Thanks for the comments!
Yes, these BIOS settings are used to enable the NTB device so that it can
be used by DPDK PMD or other drivers.
I'm not quite sure about the principle of each required item. But without
them, the NTB device cannot show up in the PCI buses list.
We can update them gradually once we know the purpose of each setting.
Thanks!
