Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/4] ixgbe: Disable Flow Control for certain
	devices

From: PJ Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>

Flow Control autoneg should be disabled for certain adapters
that don't support autonegotiation of Flow Control at 10 gigabit.
These interfaces are the 10GBASE-T devices, CX4, and SFP+, all
running at 10 gigabit only.  1 gigabit is fine.
