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.
