When VMD is enabled, DAOS server first unbinds VMD-backing devices from
all drivers (DRIVER_OVERRIDE=none in SPDK setup script). This way the
subsequent binding process to userspace is quicker (see related
spdk/spdk#2926). If a PCI_BLOCKED env is
supplied then the backing devices behind the VMD addresses specified
in the env value are also unbound. This makes the server config file
bdev_exclude parameter ineffective and so as a workaround, the unbind
of all drivers is skipped when VMD is enabled and bdev_exclude is set.
