Maybe we should start removing some things from ethdev.
There are some functions or structures which are specific to some devices only.
Why not include a header from the driver when we want to use a specific feature
of this driver?
Examples: ixgbe bypass mode, ixgbe queue stats mapping, Rx/Tx thresholds tuning...
