[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix too many interrupts

[Wenzhuo Lu]

To support kernel VF, PBA bit is always set. But it may
cause the too many interrupts issue on specific Linux
kernel, like 4.4.0-116.
PF host should set the atuo clean, mask and throttling
as we always set the register for kernel VF.

Fixes: 6b75183ac4d0 ("net/ixgbe: fix wrong PBA setting")
