Very new to vfio, so apologies in advance > if my understanding is way off the mark. vfio is for writing userspace drivers, not for writing kernel drivers in userspace. If you want a netdev, write a kernel driver. If you want to bypass the kernel network stack with a driver entirely in userspace (ex. DPDK), use vfio.
