  v4: Same,
    - Split dpdk-hugepages.py option --owner/-o
      into --user/-U and --group/-G.
    - Move vfio-pci note to the beginning of section.

v3: Address comments by Bruce Richardson:
    - Remove the section for using UIO with older kernels.
    - Move the note about legacy virtio to virtio doc.
    - Advertise vfio-pci usage to avoid physical addresses
      (still unclear whether and when it requires IPC_LOCK).
    - Fix typo.

v2: Address comments by Stephen Hemminger:
    - Use hugetlbfs options instead of chown.
    - Suggest using OS or container runtime where possible.
    - Improve wording.
    Add SYS_RAWIO requirement for legacy virtio.
    Explain SYS_RAWIO requirement for MLX5 PMD.

Dmitry Kozlyuk (5):
  usertools: add option to select hugetlbfs directory
  usertools: add options to change mount point owner
  doc: give specific instructions for running as non-root
  doc: update instructions for running as non-root for MLX5
  doc: add note about running virtio-legacy as non-root
