To make my previous review comments clearer:

NAK

Do not create device nodes that are meant for a specific use case in
software and that are not usable for the common case. I don't think
it makes any sense to keep on submitting a UIO driver for this until
we have a proper network driver that uses this so we can make sure we
have a working binding.
