I'm not going to make UIO as the default driver for DFL devs, the driver
module will not be autoloaded. I want to provide a choice to operate on
the unhandled devs in userspace. Insmod it if it helps otherwise leave
it.

I think we may not have to select a "default" driver, if we have a
better way for userspace accessing, we could load that module, leave
UIO.

As we discussed, the drawback is that we should always change the code to
support a new dfl device for user accessing. But it is OK to me if the
generic UIO match rule is not considered proper.

I think we don't have to select a "default".

It should be loaded manually. I don't want to make this as default.

Yes, I can add some warning here.
