Subject: [net-next 00/11][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-18

This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf.

Ethan Zhao cleans up ixgbe and ixgbevf by removing bd_number from the
adapter struct because it is not longer useful.

Mark fixes ixgbe where if a hardware transmit timestamp is requested,
an uninitialized workqueue entry may be scheduled.  Added a check for
a PTP clock to avoid that.

Jacob provides a number of cleanups for ixgbe.  Since we may call
ixgbe_acquire_msix_vectors() prior to registering our netdevice, we
should not use the netdevice specific printk and use e_dev_warn()
instead.  Similar to how ixgbevf handles acquiring MSI-X vectors, we
can return an error code instead of relying on the flag being set.
This makes it more clear that we have failed to setup MSI-X mode and
will make it easier to consolidate MSI-X related code into a single
function.  In the case of disabling DCB, it is not an error since we
still can function, we just have to let the user know.  So use
e_dev_warn() instead of e_err().  Added warnings for other features
that are disabled when we are without MSI-X support.  Cleanup flags
that are no longer used or needed.

The following are changes since commit bf3c228d36c6b3c90074f928e84e318621969cc6:
