[00/22] windows/netuio: add netuio driver for Windows

From: Narcisa Vasile <navasile@microsoft.com>

The NetUIO driver for Windows allows the usermode application
to directly access the hardware and allocates the memory that gets mapped in
usermode.

  Updated Source and Project files to use Clang toolset

Harini Ramakrishnan (10):
  Windows DPDK libraries and applications have now been updated to the
    latest public release v18.08, of the main DPDK source.

It doesn't allocate the buffer anymore, does it?

As far as I understand, you're importing history from dpdk-draft-repo and
then changing file layout. Not sure how this is beneficial, especially
since there are bugfixes along the way. Or are there legal reasons?

Please follow the guidelines on commit formatting, in particular:

* Subject must have a topic ("windows/netuio"?), its length is limited.
* Description is mandatory and should explain the changes.

Harini, Omar, please advise if we need to preserve history. If not,
I think it's better to just squash all commits and send the netuio code
as one patch. In this way, I can easily make sure that this one patch
has the right signoff, description, subject formatting etc.

Dmitry, would pushing the netuio code as one patch be ok?

Hi Naty,
IMHO this is small and sufficiently scoped where history (individual buildable patches) are not necessary.  We'd prefer to avoid that overhead here.

DmitryK, 
Please let us know if otherwise.

Yes, I think so.

I agree too. This code is going to be committed into a new repo (kmods), 
so there is no real benefit in maintaining prior history.
