If memory (and sight) serves me well this wasn't in this series... I 
suggest we move to the relevant thread ("bug fixes in the ixgbe PF PMD 
Rx flow").
In any case, both this and that series were already committed: this to 
2.1 tree and the one with the issue u r referring - to 2.0. U are 
welcome to post a follow up series.

Moving them say to ixgbe_adapter would address the issue I guess. It 
would be nice if u could CC me when u send the series.

thanks,
vlad
