There are still some functions in the script that not replaced
completely, give more time to complete removal of the tool.
A warning added to script documentation about the removal plan.

----------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Setup linux environment
----------------------------------------------------------
[1] Insert VFIO module

[3] Bind Ethernet/Baseband/Crypto device to IGB UIO module
[4] Bind Ethernet/Baseband/Crypto device to VFIO module
[5] Setup VFIO permissions
----------------------------------------------------------
Step 2: Uninstall and system cleanup
----------------------------------------------------------
[6] Unbind devices from IGB UIO or VFIO driver
[7] Remove IGB UIO module
[8] Remove VFIO module
[9] Remove KNI module
[10] Exit Script
