You are removing SET_ETHTOOL_OPS calls.
In a previous patch, Aaro Koskinen made the choice to redefine the macro
in kcompat files.
I don't know what will be the choice of Intel in the sourceforge base driver.
So I've applied Aaro's patch as there are less modifications of the base 
driver:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=e0b7ca0c0383411

It would be better to have patches from people working on the base driver.
So upgrades from sourceforge driver to KNI would be smoother.

Thanks
