Hello Thomas,

Thanks for your review.

It can support the bifurcation model without unbinding the kernel 
driver, by utilizing our private kernel driver in conjunction with 
rdma-core. Currently, our kernel driver is not open-source, so it is 
considered a private kernel driver. This patch series only supports the 
VFIO driver. Our kernel driver is currently in the process of being 
open-sourced on kernel.org, and once it is available there, we also plan 
to submit the code that supports our kernel driver to DPDK.
