[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal/vfio: reduce severity of startup messages

[Stephen Hemminger]

The startup of VFIO is too noisy. Logging is expensive on some
systems, and distracting to the user.

It should not be logging at NOTICE level, reduce it to INFO level.
It really should be DEBUG here but that would hide it by default.
