 To disable the IOMMU or place it into passthrough mode, add `intel_iommu=off`
 or `amd_iommu=off` or `intel_iommu=on iommu=pt` to the GRUB command line on
 x86_64 system, or add `iommu.passthrough=1` on arm64 systems.

+There are also some instances where a user may not want to use `uio_pci_generic` or the kernel
+version they are using has a bug where `uio_pci_generic` [fails to bind to NVMe drives](https://github.com/spdk/spdk/issues/399).
+In these cases, users building with the DPDK submodule can build the `igb_uio` kernel module by
+supplying `--with-igb-uio-driver` to `./configure`. Upon a successful make, the file will be
+located at `dpdk/build/build/kmod/igb_uio.ko`. To ensure that the driver is properly bound, users
+should specify `DRIVER_OVERRIDE=/path/to/igb_uio.ko`.
