> Changelog since v3:

> - updated patch 3 title,
> - moved and reworded comments in the note section in patch 4,

> Changelog since v2 (Jerin):
> - Patch 2/4 - Remove personal appeals in log messages(Anatoly)
> - Patch 4/4 - Added documentation (Anatoly)
> 
> Changelog since v1 (Jerin):
> - Changed RTE_PCI_DRV_IOVA_AS_VA flag name as RTE_PCI_DRV_NEED_IOVA_AS_VA
>   (patch 3/4)
> - Changed IOVA mode as VA for default case(patch 4/4) with documentation
