Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/e1000: enable MSI-x for linkup and other events in 82574

["Zhao1, Wei" <wei.zhao1@intel.com>]

As datasheet list:

Other Interrupt. Indicates one of the following interrupts was set:
* Link Status Change.
* Receiver Overrun.
* MDIO Access Complete.
* Small Receive Packet Detected.
* Receive ACK Frame Detected.
* Manageability Event Detected.

Which is need when using DPDK?
