When Secure Boot is enabled access to the /dev/mem is forbidden for user-space applications and clients are reporting inability to use tools in Secure Boot Mode. The way to perform NVM update is to use ixgbe driver. Currently 10G Linux Base Driver has API which allows only EEPROM access. There is a need to extend IOCTL API to allow NVM and registers access.
If I understand this correctly, this is to enable NVM update through 'ixgbe' kernel driver, is this needed for the DPDK?

In DPDK is there anywhere that sets this 'IXGBE_NVMUPD_SUPPORT' define?
