Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't all of these SPAPR-specific

SPAPR support on older kernels, rather than duplicating all the VFIO code.
Any opinions?
Thanks for this check.
As far as its trace in linux main stream, I see it was merged in 4.2.
But, it depends on distro when we go back in older kernels.
Some distros may have back-ported it too - eg. linux-3.10.0-514.6.2.el7
in RHEL 7.2 supports it. So, we might realise whether not supported,
only in run time (atleast without autoconf sort of stuff in dpdk) IMO.
any thoughts ?.
