Good so far:
Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen at networkplumber.org>

You may want to address all the references to igb_uio in guides/nics

ark.rst
axgbe.rst
bnx2x.rst
bnxt.rst
build_and_test.rst
ena.rst
enic.rst
features.rst
hns3.rst
i40e.rst
intel_vf.rst
ixgbe.rst
liquidio.rst
mlx4.rst
mlx5.rst
nfp.rst
qede.rst
virtio.rst

What about drivers like ark which don't mention vfio?

Does virtio still require igb_uio? or x86 I/O port for doorbell?
Or is this just stale language.
