This seems to suggest that XDP support for ixgbevf is coming next? :-) > The following are changes since commit > f74290fdb363665538743d14c4f00aeacdb68d87: > Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net > and are available in the git repository at: > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue 10GbE Pulled, thanks Jeff.
