Hi, Stephen

This patch does not work for fm10k with vfio, see error below:

EAL: PCI device 0000:84:00.0 on NUMA socket 1
EAL:   probe driver: 8086:15a4 rte_pmd_fm10k
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f1980000000
EAL: Trying to map BAR 2 that contains the MSI-X table. Trying offsets:
0000:0000, 1000:1000
EAL:   PCI memory mapped at 0x7f1980401000
EAL: pci_map_resource(): cannot mmap(105, 0x7f1980402000, 0x4000000,
0x0): Invalid argument (0xffffffffffffffff)
EAL:   0000:84:00.0 mapping BAR4 failed: Invalid argument
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
  Cause: Requested device 0000:84:00.0 cannot be used


Thanks,
Michael
