o ixgbe_call_func and the ton of wrappers which go along with it
  should go.

o boolean_t duplicates the existing 'bool'

o The options below {should be/are} handled through ethtool:
  - TxDescriptors
  - RxDescriptors
  - XsumRX

o No __iomem annotations ?

o pci_alloc_consistent() returns a zeroed area: no need for memset.

o ixgbe_clean_tx_irq() is issued from the NAPI poll handler (as the
  name suggests...). Its locking will probably cause a deadlock if
  it is interrupted and a call to netpoll_send_skb follows.
