Hi,
About the title, I think it does not convey what is new here.
VFIO is not new, SR-IOV is already supported.
The title should mention the new VFIO feature in few simple words.
Is it only about using VFIO for PF?

Adding such exception for all internal "driver interface" functions
is not scaling. Please use __rte_internal.
I am waiting for the patchset about rte_internal to be reviewed or completed.
As it is not progressing, the decision is to block any patch having
ABI issue because of internal false positive.
Please help, thanks.
