+==========================================================
+PCI vDPA driver for the Pensando(R) DSC adapter family
+==========================================================
+
+Pensando vDPA VF Device Driver
+Copyright(c) 2022 Pensando Systems, Inc
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The ``pds_vdpa`` driver is a PCI and auxiliary bus driver and supplies
+a vDPA device for use by the virtio network stack.  It is used with
+the Pensando Virtual Function devices that offer vDPA and virtio queue
+services.  It depends on the ``pds_core`` driver and hardware for the PF
+and for device configuration services.
+
+Using the device
+================
+
+The ``pds_vdpa`` device is enabled via multiple configuration steps and
+depends on the ``pds_core`` driver to create and enable SR-IOV Virtual
+Function devices.
+
+Shown below are the steps to bind the driver to a VF and also to the
+associated auxiliary device created by the ``pds_core`` driver. This
+example assumes the pds_core and pds_vdpa modules are already
+loaded.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  #!/bin/bash
+
+  modprobe pds_core
+  modprobe pds_vdpa
+
+  PF_BDF=`grep "vDPA.*1" /sys/kernel/debug/pds_core/*/viftypes | head -1 | awk -F / '{print $6}'`
+
+  # Enable vDPA VF auxiliary device(s) in the PF
+  devlink dev param set pci/$PF_BDF name enable_vnet value true cmode runtime
+
+  # Create a VF for vDPA use
+  echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pds_core/$PF_BDF/sriov_numvfs
+
+  # Find the vDPA services/devices available
+  PDS_VDPA_MGMT=`vdpa mgmtdev show | grep vDPA | head -1 | cut -d: -f1`
+
+  # Create a vDPA device for use in virtio network configurations
+  vdpa dev add name vdpa1 mgmtdev $PDS_VDPA_MGMT mac 00:11:22:33:44:55
+
+  # Set up an ethernet interface on the vdpa device
+  modprobe virtio_vdpa
+
+
+
+Enabling the driver
+===================
+
+The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
+using the make command::
+
+  make oldconfig/menuconfig/etc.
+
+The driver is located in the menu structure at:
+
+  -> Device Drivers
+    -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
+      -> Ethernet driver support
+        -> Pensando devices
+          -> Pensando Ethernet PDS_VDPA Support
+
+Support
+=======
+
+For general Linux networking support, please use the netdev mailing
+list, which is monitored by Pensando personnel::
+
+  netdev@vger.kernel.org
+
+For more specific support needs, please use the Pensando driver support
+email::

Any reason it needs to select on vringh?

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the time.  I'll be able to 
respond to them more fully next week when I'm back from the holidays.
