[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] pci/linux: use RTE_IOVA_VA whenever possible

This allows DPDK to use RTE_IOVA_VA with VFIO/UIO-bound PCI
devices present on the system, but not attached to any
rte_pci_driver at the time of init.

So far we used RTE_IOVA_VA whenever there was at least one
device attached to a driver with an RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA flag,
meaning that other drivers which didn't explicitly report such
flag could have been forced to work in RTE_IOVA_VA as well.

This patch makes the RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA explicitly a hint.
If it's set, but RTE_IOVA_VA cannot be used, then EAL will print
a proper warning.
