The code is moved with its git history in
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-kmods/

The move process started with these commands:
	cd dpdk
	dir=igb_uio
	path1=lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/$dir
	path2=kernel/linux/$dir
	git format-patch -o $dir 0c9a540ed2.. -- $path1 $path2
	find $dir -type f -exec sed -i "s,$path1\|$path2,linux/$dir," '{}' \;
	cd ../dpdk-kmods
	git am ../dpdk/$dir/*
	git filter-branch --force
		--index-filter "git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch linux/$dir/Makefile"
		--prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

Makefile and meson.build files were not imported at all.
Some other commits were skipped (virtio, vmxnet3 and Xen dom0 support),
because they were not very useful and reverted later in the history.
Anyway the original history is available forever in dpdk.git.

Currently it cannot compile because the file rte_pci_dev_feature_defs.h
is missing, defining enum rte_intr_mode. An option is to import this file.

It would be nice to add a README file in the new igb_uio directory.
Volunteers welcome :)
