/**
* Driver Comparison Example
*
* Demonstrates all four production drivers and their performance characteristics:
*
* 1. custom_nic_driver.hpp - 20-50ns (fastest, direct MMIO)
* 2. hardware_bridge.hpp - 30-60ns (portable across NICs)
* 3. kernel_bypass_nic.hpp - 40-70ns (VFIO/IOMMU secure)
* 4. solarflare_efvi.hpp - 100-200ns (Solarflare ef_vi wrapper)
*
* Compile:
* g++ -std=c++17 -O3 -march=native -I../include \
* -o driver_comparison driver_comparison.cpp
