From: Jerin Jacob <jer...@marvell.com> In order to optimize the DPDK PCI enumeration management, RTE_KDRV_NONE based device driver probing will be removed in v20.08. The legacy virtio is the only consumer of RTE_KDRV_NONE based device driver probe scheme. The legacy virtio support will be available through existing VFIO/UIO based kernel driver scheme.
