Thanks for your effort.
I think port IO is a really interesting option but it needs more EAL rework
to be correctly integrated. Then virtio-net-pmd 
(http://dpdk.org/browse/virtio-net-pmd/)
will be obsolete and moved in a deprecated area.

This is the first problem. We must stop adding new build-time options.
We should be able to choose between PCI mapping and port IO at runtime.

A flag should never be ifdef'ed.

Why do you need this ugly return?

This part should be a Linux EAL service.

Why does it need PCI mapping in port IO mode?

This is the biggest problem.
You are defining port IO as a different driver instead of providing a way to
choose the method for each virtio device.
I think that you should use devargs to configure the pci device.
