I'm not familiar with the fm10k pmd, but this sounds like something that should be fixed.

There is documentation on how to create patches, and submit them to the mailing list:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/patches.html#creating-patches

When sending the patch, CC the fm10k maintainer: Jing Chen <jing.d.chen@intel.com>

Hope that helps, -Harry
