Representor is a port in DPDK that is connected to a VF in such a way
that assuming there are no offload flows, each packet that is sent
from the VF will be received by the corresponding representor. While
each packet that is sent to a representor will be received by the VF.
This is very useful in case of SRIOV mode, where the first packet that
is sent by the VF will be received by the DPDK application which will
decide if this flow should be offloaded to the E-Switch.
Representor shares interrupts handler with host PF over the PCI
address. Therefore, after PF completes its interrupts handler
initialization, no additional actions required for representor.
