UIO HV driver should not load in the isolation VM for security reason.
Return ENOTSUPP in the hv_uio_probe() in the isolation VM.

This is debatable, in isolation VM's shouldn't userspace take responsibility
to validate host communication. If that is an issue please participate with
the DPDK community (main user of this) to make sure netvsc userspace driver
has the required checks.


Agree. Will report back to secure team and apply request to add change in userspace netvsc driver. Thanks for advise.
