Reinstate installation of igb_uio
For good performance on some platforms, we need the igb_uio driver. With
this change, the driver is compiled and insmod done during boot time.
When running the rapid scripts, the devbind.sh script is sent to the
instances (after replacing the string "MACADDRESS"). Make sure you
uncomment the proper line to chose which driver you want to use.
