Ok, then I suggest to make a comment around RTE_IXGBE_VPMD_RX_BURST that
changing it needs a lot of other changes in the code elsewhere, e.g in
this split_flags check.
Btw. vPMD was a bit misleading abbreviation for me, it took me a while
until I realized 'v' stands for 'vector', not 'virtualization' as in
most cases nowadays.
