Hi,

The instructions mentioned by Krishnamurthy here:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-October/006373.html

greatly helped to make progress on accessing PCI devices from with in the
container, however, DPDK is not able to open them because of privilege
issues. Has somebody been able to crack this issue? If so, can they please
show me the way to do it?
