[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/enic: do not flush descriptor cache when opening vNIC

[John Daley]

From: Hyong Youb Kim <hyonkim at cisco.com>

The firmware on new hardware models flushes the global descriptor
cache by default. Use CMD_OPENF_IG_DESCCACHE to avoid cache
flushing. This flag has no effect on older models.
