Hi Anatoly,

Also, why providing DMA type? There's already a VFIO type pointer in
vfio_config - you can set this pointer for every new created container,
so the user wouldn't have to care about IOMMU type. Is it not possible
to figure out DMA type from within EAL VFIO? If not, maybe provide an
API to do so, e.g. rte_vfio_container_set_dma_type()?
It's possible, EAL VFIO should be able to figure out a container's DMA type.
You probably won't be able to do it until you add a group into the
container, so probably best place to do it would be on group_bind?
