> The ConnectX NIC series hardware provides advanced internal
> MMU option and can operate directly over virtual addresses,
> the host software should not care about any virtual-to-physical
> address translations. It means the mlx5 PMDs can operate in DPDK
> IOVA VA (virtual address) mode transparently.
> 
> To force IOVA VA mode the DPDK should be built with meson option:
> 
>   enable_iova_as_pa=false
> 
> With this option only drivers supporting IOVA VA mode are enabled.
> This patch marks mlx5 drivers with require_iova_in_mbuf flag false
> value, thus allowing their compilation for IOVA VA mode.
