Hi, Andy

This patch will break the vfio-pci driver on my server. 
I can't launch NIC with vfio-pci using testpmd.  Could you have 
a check on this? Thanks a lot!

My server info:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
gcc: 5.4.0
kernel: 4.4.0
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz
NIC: Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 

My Step:
1. Bind NIC to vfio-pci driver
modprobe vfio-pci
dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci [PCI address of NIC]

2. Launch testpmd;
./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0x03 -n 4 -- -i
