Looks like we want to build UIO driver as the default/generic driver for DFL,
it seems fine but my concern is that UIO has its own limitation, if some day,
dfl device is extended, but UIO has limitation, then we may need to select 
another one as the default driver.. or we can just match them using 
id_table as we know UIO meets the requirement for those DFL devices?

If we consider this as a default driver for everybody in DFL, then we could
consider build it into the core, otherwise it always requires to be loaded
manually, right?

How many interrupts UIO could support? or we need some
warning or just even return error here?

Thanks
