Hello,

I am trying to set up dpdk with netvsc as master pmd on Azure following
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/setup-dpdk?tabs=ubuntu
and
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-22.11/nics/netvsc.html

but I have the following error messages

EAL: VFIO support initialized

Also, with debug logs I see

The DPDK version is 22.11, running on
Linux dpdk0 5.15.0-1053-azure #61~20.04.1-Ubuntu
VM type D8ls v5, accelerated networking is on for two ports

driverctl -b vmbus list-devices

Any, ideas what I might be doing wrong? I see the same behavior with
testpmd and my app.
