This reverts commit 69c06d0e357ed0064b498d510d169603cf7308cd.
That commit breaks support for netvsc PMD with MLX SRIOV
on both Hyper-V and Azure.

Could one of the MLX maintainers review this. DPDK 19.08 is broken
right now on Hyper-V/Azure.

DPDK 19.08-rc is broken on Azure. This patch which seems to have been
ignored fixes it.

This patch was not ignored. I was waiting for the IOVA changes
to settle down. As a result, the revert will happen because the
type RTE_KDRV_NIC_MLX is not needed anymore:
	https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/56314/

However, I don't understand how it is related to netvsc PMD.
Please could you give more details?
