Subject: [net-next 01/13] i40evf: enforce descriptor write-back mechanism for VF

From: Preethi Banala <preethi.banala@...el.com>

The current driver mode is to use a write-back mechanism for the head
register which indicates transmit completions. The VF driver needs to be
able to work on hardware that exclusively uses descriptor write-back, so
change the default driver mode of operation to descriptor write-back for
VF. In our analysis, performance wasn't significantly different with
either write-back method.
