sPAPR IOMMU based pci probing enabled for vfio-pci devices.
+* **Updated the ixgbe base driver.**
+
+ Updated the ixgbe base driver, including the following changes:
+
+ * Add link block check for KR.
+ * Complete HW initialization even if SFP is not present.
+ * Add VF xcast promiscuous mode.
+
* **Added powerpc support for i40e and its vector PMD .**
i40e PMD and its vector PMD enabled by default in powerpc.
+* **Added VF max bandwidth setting on i40e.**
+
+ i40e HW supports to set the max bandwidth for a VF. Enable this capability.
+
+* **Added VF TC min bandwidth setting on i40e.**
+
+ i40e HW supports to set the allocated bandwidth for a TC on a VF. Enable this
+ capability.
+
+* **Added VF TC max bandwidth setting on i40e.**
+
+ i40e HW supports to set the max bandwidth for a TC on a VF. Enable this
+ capability.
+
+* **Added TC strict priority mode setting on i40e.**
+
+ There're 2 TX scheduling modes supported for TCs by i40e HW, round ribon mode
+ and strict priority mode. By default it's round robin mode. Enable the
