Hi, Thomas

Thanks a lot.

If I understand correctly, what you mean is:
If the new patch is using new filter_ctrl API while the similar feature for
Igb and ixgbe are using the old filtering API, we need to clean-up the old filtering
API and promote them to new filtering APIs at first.
For example, if we want to enable ethertype filter on Fortville, we need to move
the igb/ixgbe's ether_type filter to new API at the same patchset.

What you said is not for others features which has no relationship with filter API. 
Correct?
