Both of them are isolated, so for playing with it you could just
comment those out.  It looks like PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER should
have been in 3.10, while PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS didn't show-up until
3.14...

Is there an example of code in DPDK that requires specific kernel
versions?  What is the preferred method for coding such dependencies?
