Please could you explain this comment?
Is it remaining from previous versions of the patch?
Yes. It might be changed to:
# Get list of sysfs modules (both built-in and dynamically loaded)
[...]

+        # but its .ko is named vfio_pci)
Isn't it common to have dash replaced by underscore for kernel modules?
I retained the logic for special case of vfio-pci. At the moment 
(according to my knowledge) there are no other DPDK modules with this 
name replacement.

I checked few example Linux modules and if a module is named with dash, 
it's being replaced to underscore. The modprobe(8) tool can accept both 
names as interchangeable (with dash and underscore).

Would you like to make it a general rule and replace all dashes with 
underscores?

Thank you
