Thanks for the response.

It might address the conflict issue, but with a simple glimpse, the
build issue might still remain. Say, commit 109febfe58f9 ("net/igb: move
PCI device IDs from EAL") will not be applied (as there is no fixline),
but it is required by commit 5544a453b4ac ("kni: fix crash when removing
interface"), if I'm not mistaken.

Or, I'm wrong?
