[PATCH 3/4] net/ice: remove SSE vector path

[Khadem Ullah]

Hi Ciara Loftus,

We may need some legacy support for the SSE path for earlier systems. Or it
will not be a problem ?
As you specified that modern x86 systems all support AVX2, if not AVX-512.
Still, we might need some type of support for the SSE path.


Best Regards,
Khadem
