[vfio-users] How to choose a compatible motherboard?

[Eddie Yen]

So my guess is right, X series platform is liked E5 series platform, only
different customer target.
X series got some same features as E5, only difference is some server
features.

Also, it seems like unRAID's virtualization is based on KVM+VFIO? I saw a
lot of setting likely virt-manager.
