Fabiano Fidêncio a5e1521727 kernel: bake in Mellanox MLX5 Ethernet support
The MLX5 Ethernet driver is useful well beyond the DPU/SmartNIC use case
(any guest sitting on top of a Mellanox/ConnectX NIC benefits from it),
yet the existing config fragment lived under dpu/ and was only pulled in
when the kernel was built with `-D nvidia`.

Promote it to a first-class common fragment so every Kata kernel gets
MLX5 Ethernet built in.

Kata Containers packaging

Introduction

Kata Containers currently supports packages for many distributions. Tooling to aid in creating these packages are contained within this repository.

Build in a container

Kata build artifacts are available within a container image, created by a Dockerfile. Reference DaemonSets are provided in kata-deploy, which make installation of Kata Containers in a running Kubernetes Cluster very straightforward.

Build static binaries

See the static build documentation.

Build Kata Containers Kernel

See the kernel documentation.

Build QEMU

See the QEMU documentation.

Create a Kata Containers release

See the release documentation.

Packaging scripts

See the scripts documentation.
