OK. Since IO port map is moved to EAL layer, it is not straightforward like before for virtio PMD to distinguish the reason why port map fails. We have two choices. Return 1 to the upper layer to say that we don't take over the device for all the map failures or we check the driver type, return -1 for UIO/VFIO driver error, return 1 for kernel driver, which is a bit overelaborate. >
