Another question is - should we even have a minimum kernel version? Are we aware of any kernel features beyond vfio-pci driver which DPDK requires to run? As a userspace application, I think DPDK should just work with whatever distro-provided kernel is provided (assuming distro is relatively recent). /Bruce
