Subject: [PATCH] i40e: prefer base driver naming

The PMD is built on top of the base driver which is provided by Intel and shouldn't be modified to allow easy batch upgrade from Intel.

The base driver is a "shared code" between many projects. But in DPDK, the "base driver" naming makes more sense.

Hi Thomas

I prefer to keep the name of "shared code", and do not use "base driver". As "base driver" is used to indicate the top level of Linux/Windows/FreeBSD driver by our Network guys who provides us the shared code.
If we do this change, that will get us confused during following development.

BTW, the names of "shared code" and "base driver" have been used for specific code part for a long time by our Network guys.

Regards,
Helin
