To use DPDK AVF PMD on Intel® 700 Series Ethernet Controller, the device id (0x1889) need to specified during device
assignment in hypervisor. Take qemu for example, the device assignment should carry the AVF device id (0x1889) like

#. If use vfio-pci to pass through device instead of pci-assign, steps 8 and 9 need to be updated to bind device to vfio-pci and
replace pci-assign with vfio-pci when start virtual machine.
