I'm confused. Shouldn't the DCF be a separate driver since it is a VF, not part of a PF? You are starting to combine PF/VF code and I'm not sure if that is the correct way to go.

> A DCF (Device Config Function) based approach is proposed where a device

> The DCF works as a standalone PMD to support this function, which shares

> This patchset is based on:

> https://patchwork.dpdk.org/cover/66472/ : iavf share code update

> 1. update the iavf patchset link.
> 2. split more patches for making this work be more understandable
> 3. fix the log function usage, devargs checking from v1.
