I raised the issue, but people seem to be ignoring that fact that igb_uio
was broken by the introduction of UIO PCI generic in 2.0.

There are three options:
 1. Remove IGB_UIO only use UIO PCI generic.
    Downside there is no MSI-X support for UIO PCI generic.
 2. Revert UIO PCI generic support
 3. Replace both of the above with something better.

I am working on #3 but it will not be ready for 2.0.1 and there
is no solution for users of 2.0 and any future stable code.
