+LiquidIO VF Poll Mode Driver
+============================
+
+The LiquidIO VF PMD library(librte_pmd_lio) provides poll mode driver support for
+Cavium LiquidIO® II server adapter VFs. PF management and VF creation can be
+done using kernel driver.

Is it possible to provide a link here to point NIC documentation.

Hi Ferruh,

Thanks a lot for the reviews. We are yet to completely verify ARM
support. Will make changes as suggested.
