`driver_override` allows to control which of the vDPA bus drivers
binds to a vDPA device.
If `driver_override` is not set, the previous behaviour is followed:
devices use the first vDPA bus driver loaded (unless auto binding
is disabled).
Tested on Fedora 34 with driverctl(8):
$ modprobe virtio-vdpa
$ modprobe vhost-vdpa
$ modprobe vdpa-sim-net
$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_net name dev1
# dev1 is attached to the first vDPA bus driver loaded
$ driverctl -b vdpa list-devices
dev1 virtio_vdpa
$ driverctl -b vdpa set-override dev1 vhost_vdpa
$ driverctl -b vdpa list-devices
dev1 vhost_vdpa [*]
Note: driverctl(8) integrates with udev so the binding is
preserved.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
