This patchset is in two parts.

The first 9 patches add code to allow representors to be instantiated
etc... The remaining patches provide the beginning of a flower app which
makes use of this infrastructure. So I think there is a clear separation
between representor code, in .../nfp/ and app code that uses representors,
in this case .../nfp/flower/.

indeed, got it.

I could have supplied a test app to demonstrate using representors - and
that is really what the flower app is as of this patchset. But I chose to
name it flower as it we have follow-up work to make the app actually
offload flower and at that point that will be come its dominant feature.

As you stated, the separation is there. If got you right, it will be possible to
use representors in non flower apps, and probably also possible to have
the flower app used in a non-SRIOV environment, just fine.

Or.
