The i40evf PMD will be deprecated, iavf will be the only VF driver for
Intel 700 serial (i40e) NIC family.
To reach this, there will be 2 steps:
Step 1: iavf will be the default VF driver, while i40evf still can be
selected by devarg: "driver=i40evf".
This is covered by this patch, which include:
1) add all 700 serial NIC VF device ID into iavf PMD
2) skip probe if devargs contain "driver=i40evf" in iavf
3) continue probe if devargs contain "driver=i40evf" in i40evf
Step 2: i40evf and related devarg are removed, this will happen at DPDK
21.11
Between step 1 and step 2, no new feature will be added into i40evf
except bug fix.
