Mainlining of uio_netx #1

Thanks for making the driver and libraries accessible here! :tada:

Are there plans to merge the changes here into Linux mainline? https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/uio/uio_netx.c

We currently use a DKMS Debian package to replace the build in uio_netx with our internal fork but this causes trouble from time to time and simply using distribution kernel packages would be so much easier.

Currently there are no plans to mainlining, as there are several changes (mapping DMA buffers into user space) which are usually not accepted.
