Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] net: ixgbe: disable relaxed ordering at runtime

From: gabriele paoloni <gabriele.paoloni@...wei.com>

This patchset is based on Casey's patchset:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg578927.html

It is a proposal to convert the ixgbe driver to disable RO at runtime
depending on the root port flags.

TODO: Casey's patchset above add quirks to disable RO only for Intel
E5-26xx and AMD ARM A1100, whereas currently the Intel ixgbe driver
disable RO by default. Therefore there may be some other host quirks
to be added in drivers/pci/quirks....
