Why this patchset doesn't remove ethdev updates for these functions?

ixgbe is the only user for these eth-dev_ops, since code moved to ixgbe
driver, they and relevant rte_eth_xx functions (and deprecation notice)
can be removed in this patchset. Most probably after testpmd updated to
prevent compilation errors.
