Yes, as I know mtu-set is not implemented on i40e and some other devices ...
Patches are welcome, I suppose :)
Though note that even with ixgbe you can't set new mtu if it is bigger then
related mempool's buffer size and scattered_rx is not enabled.
And to enable scattered_rx, you'll need to stop and re-configure device anyway.
