Update to the Intel ixgbe driver:

Description

Update to the Intel ixgbe driver:

  • Split the driver into independent pf and vf loadables. This is
	  in preparation for SRIOV support which will be following shortly.
	  This also allows us to keep a seperate revision control over the
	  two parts, making for easier sustaining.
  • Make the TX/RX code a shared/seperated file, in the old code base
	  the ixv code would miss fixes that went into ixgbe, this model
	  will eliminate that problem.
  • The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
	  has been requested for some time.
  • Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
  • It will also be possible to make your static kernel with only one
	  or the other for streamlined installs, or both.

Enjoy!
