I agree with Venky.
The poll-mode drivers e1000 and ixgbe are based on drivers located in
subdirectories e1000/ and ixgbe/. And by design, these poll-mode drivers use
the base drivers without modifying it.
So please try to restrict your changes to ixgbe_ethdev.c and ixgbe_rxtx.c.
The coding rules are not written. If needed, we could add a file for it.
Thanks for your patch
