From: Jerin Jacob <jerinj at marvell.com>
In order to optimize the DPDK PCI enumeration management, RTE_KDRV_NONE
based device driver probing will be removed in v20.08.
The legacy virtio is the only consumer of RTE_KDRV_NONE based
device driver probe scheme.
The legacy virtio support will be available through existing VFIO/UIO
based kernel driver scheme.
