[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH 0/2] Using virtio ethdev ports as non-root

I managed to run testpmd as non-root with virtio ports after quite some
tries.

Sending a first RFC with the (not so big) changes that are required on
the DPDK side.

I will come with a little howto for the non-RFC series for people
interested in this, since I had to align quite some stars to make it
work.
