      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      mana, mlx4 drivers are used in Azure cloud, ena driver is used in AWS EC2. Currently these drivers are not enabled when compile downstream dpdk package, which may impact the cloud user experience. So we suggest to enable these(mana, mlx4, ena) cloud drivers in downstream dpdk package.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      dpdk-23.11-1.el8
      dpdk-23.11-1.el9

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      1.  Create a VM on Azure with MANA NIC. Install downstream dpdk package.
      2.  Run "dpdk-testpmd" test

      Expected results

      # dpdk-testpmd -l 0-1 -a 7870:00:00.0  -- -i --port-topology=chained --nb-cores 1
      ...
      EAL: Probe PCI driver: net_mana (1414:00ba) device: 7870:00:00.0 (socket 0)

      Actual results

      # dpdk-testpmd -l 0-1 -a 7870:00:00.0  -- -i --port-topology=chained --nb-cores 1
      ...
      testpmd: No probed ethernet devices
