The Data Plane Development Kit, a Linux Foundation effort, makes robust userspace Linux networking more or less available to the common hax0r.

Pollmode driver

You'll need either a UIO or a VFIO module loaded. VFIO is preferable, as it can drive the IOMMU. This is the vfio-pci driver. If your system can't work with VFIO, the uio_pci_generic or igb_uio modules can be employed (the latter is, I believe, specifically for Intel Gigabit NICs). If VFIO is not used, the IOMMU must be disabled, or configured in passthrough mode.

To see physical devices and their bindings, run dpdk-devbind.py --status:
