[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] Integrate ethertype filter in igb/ixgbe driver to new API

[Qiu, Michael]

Hi Jingjing,

Would you mind to tell me why need new APIs? Any functional or
performance increase?
Better to state in commit log.

You know it should be careful to change APIs, especially for user
interface. 

Thanks,
Michael
