Subject: ixgbe select_queue broken in 2.6.28

The ixgbe driver in 2.6.28 modifies select_queue. This is bad
in a couple of ways:
  1) select_queue is now in net_device_ops so the driver won't build
     unless CONFIG_COMPAT_NET_DEV_OPS is defined
  2) it is changing data that is shared and supposed to be immutable.

Looks like a some of the DCB stuff forgot to look at net_device_ops
