UIO driver test

[Gadre Nayan]

I am trying to replicate the igb_uio for realtek card on my system. I saw
the igb_uio source and it uses no ID table.

Struct pci_driver igb_pci_driver = {
    .id_table = NULL;
};

So I wanted to understand the mechanism by which the igb_uio binds to a igb
network card driver.
