Alex,

I share your concern. I actually brought it up originally when
discussing this RFC:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=133991625809201&w=2

>>From my end, if you would like to add the Intel side support that would
be great. Unless anyone object, we will leave the ixgbe and igb out of
this patch series.

Thanks,
Eilon
