[dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] bus/pci: add Mellanox kernel driver type

> When checking RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA flag to determine IOVA mode,
> pci_one_device_has_iova_va() returns true only if kernel driver of the
> device is vfio. However, Mellanox mlx4/5 PMD doesn't need to be detached
> from kernel driver and attached to VFIO/UIO. Control path still goes
> through the existing kernel driver, which is mlx4_core/mlx5_core. In order
> to make RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA effective for mlx4/mlx5 PMD, a new kernel
> driver type has to be introduced.
