Hi,
Nice patch series. But I still have a small question about below flag.

Get iommu class of PCI device on the bus and returns preferred iova
mapping mode for that bus.
Patch also introduces RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA drv flag.
Flag used when driver needs to operate in iova=va mode.
Does this flag indicate a must to use VA as IOVA, or a nice-to-have one?
In detail, above commit log says, "needs to operate in iova=va mode",
but the comment in the patch indicates this flag means "driver supports
IOVA as VA".
If it's the latter case, I would suppose all drivers support to use VA
as IOVA, if the NICs are binded to vfio-pci (iommu mode). Please correct
me if I'm wrong.
Thanks,
Jianfeng
