Hello,

With ixgbe driver, it seems mbuf packet_type is always 0 when vPMD code
(SSE) is enabled (tried 16.11 & master).

doc/guides/nics/ixgbe.rst seems a bit out of date, so I don't know if
this is expected or not.

When vPMD is disabled, either at compile time or runtime, the field is
correctly set.
