  Linux kernel provides UIO as well as VFIO mechanism to support writing user
space device driver. Comparing to UIO which is available since 2.6.32 kernel,
the VFIO is introduced into kernel since version 3.6.0 with better interrupt
and memory protection (build on top of Intel VT-d technology) supports.
Basically, UIO and VFIO do two common things below:
1) Map PCIe device's I/O memory space to user space driver
2) Support device interrupt notification mechanism allows user space
   driver/application is notified when device interrupt triggers.

To run an DPDK application and make use of VFIO, two in_kernel modules
vfio and vfio-pci module must be loaded. But to use UIO, a DPDK kernel
module igb_uio, which was there since DPDK is invented, must be loaded to
attach to in_kernel uio module. As an possible solution to deprecate igb_uio, 
this RFC patch leverages uio_pci_generic this in_kernel module to support
DPDK user space PMD in a generic fashion (like how VFIO works today), to
partially (DPDK KNI module rte_kni still sits in kernel) remove DPDK dependency
on GPL code igb_uio in kernel. Tests with uio_pci_generic shows performance
remains same and LSC interrupts works as before.

Example to bind Network Ports to uio_pci_generic:
	modprobe uio
	modprobe uio_pci_generic
	/* to bind device 08:00.0, to the uio_pci_generic driver */
	./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b uio_pci_generic 08:00.0

Note: this RFC patch does not completely remove igb_uio support due to
igb_uio supports creating maximum number of SR-IOV VFs (Virtual Functions)
by using max_vfs kernel parameter on older kernels (kernel 3.7.x and below).
Specifically, igb_uio explicitly calls pci_enable_sriov() to create VFs, while
it is not invoked in either uio or uio_pci_generic. On kernel 3.8.x
and above, user can use the standard sysfs to enable VFs. For examples:

#echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs   //enable VFs
#echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs                 //disable VFs

Brilliant to see this patch set - this should allow us to run on just about
any kernel without out-of-tree drivers. If/when this gets merged in, I'd like to see
a follow-up patch to change the documentation to make the use of this in-tree
driver the default method of using DPDK rather igb_uio. (VFIO still has too
many limitations IMHO to make it the newbie patch).

Anyway, a few comments below.

Is this change correct? You are returning -1 if the uio_cfg_fd value is any
non-zero value.

As above, do we really want to return error if we have a uio_cfg_fd?

The "resource" file is present in the device folder when using igb_uio also,
so can we not get rid of the else leg completely and use the exact same code
path for igb_uio and uio_pci_generic? [As follow up: if we do this, can we get
rid of storing the driver name for the dev structure too?]

You probably need to update the comment for the "fd" field, or rename it,
to make it clearer what it is and how it is used. It's confusing having three
different file descriptors here, and at minimum additional comments are needed.
Could the vfio one and one of the other two be perhaps merged into a union to
make it clear that all three won't apply to a single instance?
