-   ``igb_uio`` module is disabled by default starting from ``DPDK v20.02``.
-   To build it, the config option ``CONFIG_RTE_EAL_IGB_UIO`` should be enabled.
-   It is planned to move ``igb_uio`` module to a different git repository.

-    For some devices which lack support for legacy interrupts, e.g. virtual function
-    (VF) devices, the ``igb_uio`` module may be needed in place of ``uio_pci_generic``.

    If UEFI secure boot is enabled, the Linux kernel may disallow the use of
    UIO on the system. Therefore, devices for use by DPDK should be bound to the
-   ``vfio-pci`` kernel module rather than ``igb_uio`` or ``uio_pci_generic``.
+   ``vfio-pci`` kernel module rather than any UIO-based module.
