The 4th patch introduces a change in linux eal. Before, if a pci device was bound to no kernel driver, eal would set kdrv to "unknown". With this change, kdrv is set to "none". This might make it possible to avoid the old issue of virtio devices being used by dpdk while still bound to kernel driver reported by Franck B.. I'll let virtio guys look at this. At the very least, it makes more sense to me.
Ok, actually, I had forgotten that Huawei had already sent a similar change [1]. So I suppose this patch commitlog is wrong, but the patch itself is still worth for the cleanup. Thomas, I suppose you will integrate Huawei patches first. Then I will rebase and fix the commitlog. [1] http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/9718/ -- David Marchand
