Why not? For machines with relaxed memory model you would need  rmb() here no matter does rxdp points to volatile or not.

I understand that, but I don't think that the difference would that critical.
Though I don't have any data in hand to compare.

I think you are mixing 2 different issues here:

1.  For architectures with relaxed memory model we do need rmb() after that line:
staterr = rte_le_to_cpu_32(rxdp->wb.upper.status_error);
We do need it *always*, not depending on is rx_ring a volatile or not.
If we really plan to support PPC and other architectures that allow read reordering  - 
not having an 'rmb()' or similar sync primitive here is a bug.
Same thing applies to 'wmb()' before updating RDT. 

2. volatile rx_ring vs non-volatile with explicit memory ordering instrincts. 
Actually I think that using volatile rx_ring is not a real bug on itself.
Code with volatile rx_ring and fix for #1 in place would work correctly on all architectures.
It might be slower than non-volatile approach, but nothing would be broken.

About the existing RX/TX functions and PPC support:
Note that all of them were created before PPC support for DPDK was introduced.
At that moment only IA was supported.
That's why in some places where you would expect to see 'mb()' there are 'volatile' and/or ' rte_compiler_barrier' instead. 
Why all that places wasn't updated when PPC support was added - that's another question.
>From my understanding - with current implementation some of DPDK PMDs RX/TX functions and  rte_ring wouldn't work correctly on PPC.
So, I suppose we need to decide for ourselves - do we really want to support PPC and other architectures with non-IA memory model or not?
If not, then I think we don't need any mb()s inside recv_pkts_lro() - just rte_compiler_barrier seems enough, and no point to complain about   
it in comments.
If yes - then why to introduce a new function with a known potential bug?

For that patch, I am not suggesting you to change any other functions, just one that you introducing.

Should work too, I think.

Yep, as I said above -for IA we don't need mb() here - using 'volatile' or compiler barrier seems enough to me.
For PPC - I think we do.

Ok, if you think UINT16_MAX is confusing, then just add a new one: IXGBE_RSC_MAX_PACKET_SIZE or something.
As I understand, that's sort of upper limit for the RSC packet size supported, right?

I think Bruce meant ixgbe_recv_pkts_bulk_alloc() not ixgbe_recv_scattered_pkts()
when he told about simple and high performance RX path.

Ok, that's understandable and I wouldn't insist to do that in the same patch.
It just worries me that number of our ixgbe RX functions keeps increasing.

I think it is a good practise to use macros instead of raw numbers in such places.
You probably can make these macros self-explanatory:
/* EITR Inteval in 2us uinits for 1G and 10G. */
#define IXGBE_EITR_INTERVAL_US	2 

#define IXGBE_EITR_INTERVAL_SHIFT	3

#define IXGBE_EITR_INTERVAL(us)	((us) / IXGBE_EITR_INTERVAL_US << IXGBE_EITR_INTERVAL_SHIFT)

/* at most 500us latency for a single RSC aggregation */
#define IXGHE_EITR_INTERVAL_DEFAULT  IXGBE_EITR_INTERVAL(500)
