I agree with Venky.
The poll-mode drivers e1000 and ixgbe are based on drivers located in 
subdirectories e1000/ and ixgbe/. And by design, these poll-mode drivers use 
the base drivers without modifying it.
So please try to restrict your changes to ixgbe_ethdev.c and ixgbe_rxtx.c.

The coding rules are not written. If needed, we could add a file for it.

Thanks for your patch
