Some userspace drivers and frameworks only poll and do not require interrupts to be available and enabled on the PCI device. So remove the requirement that an IRQ is assigned. If an IRQ is not assigned and a userspace driver tries to read()/write(), the generic uio framework will just return -EIO. This allows binding uio_pci_generic to devices which cannot get an IRQ assigned, such as an NVMe controller behind Intel Volume Management Device (VMD), since VMD does not support INTx interrupts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
