Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 2/5] ixgbe: drop support for UDP in RSS hash
	generation

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing.  The
reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a
network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for
non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.
