+Restricted vdev ethdev operations supported in secondary process
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+**Description**
+   In current virtual device sharing model, Ethernet device data structure will be
+   shared between primary and secondary process. Only those Ethernet device operations
+   which based on it are workable in secondary process.
+
+**Implication**
+   Some Ethernet device operations like device start/stop will be failed on virtual
+   device in secondary process.

+**Affected Environment/Platform**:
+   ALL.
