From: Ivan Boule <ivan.boule at 6wind.com>
The support of jumbo frames in the ixgbevf Poll Mode Driver of 10GbE
82599 VF functions consists in the following enhancements:
- Implement the mtu_set function in the ixgbevf PMD, using the IXGBE_VF_SET_LPE
request of the version 1.0 of the VF/PF mailbox API for this purpose.
- Implement the mtu_get function in the ixgbevf PMD for the sake of coherency.
- Add a detailed explanation on the VF/PF rx max frame len negotiation.
- To deal with Jumbo frames, force the receive function to handle scattered
packets.
