Thank you Keith and Stephen,
the output of dpdk-devbind --status is :
./dpdk-devbind.py -s

Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:00:03.0 'RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter 8139' if=ens3

Stephen - setting CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VDEV_NETVSC_PMD to n doesnt help.
I'll try to run pktgen on the host
