"port with specific bar space" means that the port has a dedicated bar space, including the DFL, AFU, this is use 
case in N3000/N5000 card.

"port without specific bar space" means the port without specific bar space, and the Port linked with FME for DFL
perspective.

Looks good.

It is good for me.

I will add it on documentation.
