I had intended to copy the remaining VF-specific functions from the generic=
 ethdev API to ixgbe in 17.02 and a deprecation notice was sent in 16.11.=20

This work was parked in order work on the VF-specfic functionsfor the i40e.=
  Is it ok to submit patches for this work after the V1 deadline (today)?

Regards,

Bernard.
