[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 13/25] raw/ioat: include example configuration script

Devices managed by the idxd kernel driver must be configured for DPDK use
before it can be used by the ioat driver. This example script serves both
as a quick way to get the driver set up with a simple configuration, and as
the basis for users to modify it and create their own configuration
scripts.

         The device configuration can also be done by directly interacting with the sysfs nodes.
+        An example of how this may be done can be seen in the script ``dpdk_idxd_cfg.py``
+        included in the driver source directory.
 
 There are some mandatory configuration steps before being able to use a device with an application.
