ncdevmem is a devmem TCP netcat. It works similarly to netcat, but it
sends and receives data using the devmem TCP APIs. It uses udmabuf as
the dmabuf provider. It is compatible with a regular netcat running on
a peer, or a ncdevmem running on a peer.

In addition to normal netcat support, ncdevmem has a validation mode,
where it sends a specific pattern and validates this pattern on the
receiver side to ensure data integrity.

+ * tcpdevmem netcat. Works similarly to netcat but does device memory TCP
+ * instead of regular TCP. Uses udmabuf to mock a dmabuf provider.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *
+ * * Without validation:
+ *
+ *	On server:
+ *	ncdevmem -s <server IP> -c <client IP> -f eth1 -n 0000:06:00.0 -l \
+ *		-p 5201
+ *
+ *	On client:
+ *	ncdevmem -s <server IP> -c <client IP> -f eth1 -n 0000:06:00.0 -p 5201
+ *
+ * * With Validation:
+ *	On server:
+ *	ncdevmem -s <server IP> -c <client IP> -l -f eth1 -n 0000:06:00.0 \
+ *		-p 5202 -v 1
+ *
+ *	On client:
+ *	ncdevmem -s <server IP> -c <client IP> -f eth1 -n 0000:06:00.0 -p 5202 \
+ *		-v 100000
+ *
+ * Note this is compatible with regular netcat. i.e. the sender or receiver can
+ * be replaced with regular netcat to test the RX or TX path in isolation.
