[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal/bus: use RTE_IOVA_PA only if phys addresses are available

[Darek Stojaczyk]

When neither RTE_IOVA_VA nor RTE_IOVA_PA was explicitly
requested, DPDK would currently fallback to the default
RTE_IOVA_PA mode and possibly encounter a failure later
on if running as a non-priviledged user. Attempting to
use RTE_IOVA_VA if no phys addresses are available may
help in this case.
