OK.  Actually it isn't that intrusive as it looks.

Then customers have to use git to clone latest DPDK when they run virtio 
with MMIO.  How about backporting this patch to this release after we 
merge it later?

Maxime:

Could we high prioritize this patch a bit? Customers are frequently 
pushing us.

Thanks.
