Hi all: This series intends to introduce Intel IFC VF NIC driver for Vhost Data Plane Acceleration. Here comes two main parts, one is ifcvf_base layer, which handles hardware operations. The other is ifcvf_main layer handles VF initialization, configuration and removal, which depends on and complys to vhost_mdev https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/26/15 This is a first RFC try, please help review. Thanks!
