+- QLogic FastLinQ QL4xxxx CNAs support Ethernet, RDMA, iSCSI and FCoE
+ functionalities. These functionalities are supported using
+ QLogic Linux kernel drivers qed, qede, qedr, qedi and qedf. DPDK is
+ supported on these adapters using qede PMD.
+
+- When SR-IOV is not enabled on the adapter,
+ QLogic Linux kernel drivers (qed, qede, qedr, qedi and qedf) and qede
+ PMD can’t be attached to different PFs on a given QLogic FastLinQ
+ QL4xxx adapter.
+ A given adapter needs to be completely used by DPDK or Linux drivers
+ Before binding DPDK driver to one or more PFs on the adapter,
+ please make sure to unbind Linux drivers from all PFs of the adapter.
+ If there are multiple adapters on the system, one or more adapters
+ can be used by DPDK driver completely and other adapters can be used
+ by Linux drivers completely.
+
+- When SR-IOV is enabled on the adapter,
+ Linux kernel drivers (qed, qede, qedr, qedi and qedf) can be bound
+ to the PFs of a given adapter and either qede PMD or Linux drivers
+ (qed and qede) can be bound to the VFs of the adapter.
+
+- For sharing an adapter between DPDK and Linux drivers, SRIOV needs
+ to be enabled. Bind all the PFs to Linux Drivers(qed/qede). Create
+ a VF on PFs where DPDK is desired and bind these VFs to qede_pmd.
+ Binding of PFs simultaneously to DPDK and Linux drivers on a given
+ adapter is not supported.
