Hello,

I am sorry for this situation but (as Thomas mentioned below) Windows is
not considered as a supported platform. If you have issues with this
approach you are welcome to prepare some patch changing this to do
the same thing in another way.

There was a discussion when accepting the fake sysfs into DPDK on the
public mailing list. I did not received any serious complaints at that
time.

Regards
Jan
