Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix UIO support broken by 2.0
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:34:20 -0700	[thread overview]

Here is the correct way to fix it (even if it maybe hard to accept).
I think the most technically correct way to handle this is to fix
UIO driver in kernel to do the IRQ management according to the
API that was already described in the kernel documentation.
Then have the DPDK EAL use the IRQ management API.

This maybe hard for Enterprise distributions to accept, but it is
the right technical solution.
