	help
	  This kernel module can drive Intel IFC VF NIC to offload
	  virtio dataplane traffic to hardware.
	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
	  be called ifcvf.

config MLX5_VDPA
	bool
	select VHOST_IOTLB
	help
	  Support library for Mellanox VDPA drivers. Provides code that is
	  common for all types of VDPA drivers. The following drivers are planned:
	  net, block.

config MLX5_VDPA_NET
	tristate "vDPA driver for ConnectX devices"
	select MLX5_VDPA
	select VHOST_RING
	depends on MLX5_CORE
	help
	  VDPA network driver for ConnectX6 and newer. Provides offloading
	  of virtio net datapath such that descriptors put on the ring will
	  be executed by the hardware. It also supports a variety of stateless
	  offloads depending on the actual device used and firmware version.
