From: Matan Azrad Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2020 11:00:16 +0000 (+0000) Subject: doc: add vDPA features table X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?p=dpdk.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=6222035e1af43c1c1d588eb0cc5004d62591e1b4 doc: add vDPA features table Add vDPA devices features table and explanation. Any vDPA driver can add its own supported features by ading a new ini file to the features directory in doc/guides/vdpadevs/features.
