Subject: [net-next 11/14] ixgbevf: Change the relaxed order settings in VF driver for sparc

From: Babu Moger <babu.moger@...cle.com>

We noticed performance issues with VF interface on sparc compared
to PF. Setting the RX to IXGBE_DCA_RXCTRL_DATA_WRO_EN brings it
on far with PF. Also this matches to the default sparc setting in
PF driver.
