[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] net: i40e: add VLAN tag size to RXMAX

Hi, Nikita

dev_conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len is different with MTU concept.
The max_rx_pkt_len indicates the maximum packet length it can receive, it should be larger than MTU.
 
There is another patch which is enabling set_mtu ops.
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/12218/
You can definitely help to review and comment it.

Thanks
Jingjing
