Reminder about this workshop at the upcoming netdevconf. It is scheduled
for Tuesday, July 16, at 10 a.m. PDT. If anyone has topics to discuss,
please let Alex and I know.

Current responses:
- Jiri Pirko / Jacob Keller
  + multi PF device with shared resources

- Amritha Nambiar
  + NAPI config for queue-set API?
  + devlink-extensions

I have a couple of topics - uapis and possibly fwctl.
