Thanks!

This one is actually applied. It turned out to be another issue of
"git am fails while git cherry-pick works", as stated in following
reply:

    http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/stable/2017-February/001044.html

I will update my script and now it's applied.

For the same reason, 76bf157 ("net/mlx5: fix updating total length
of multi-packet send") is also applied.

Okay, thanks for the note!

Now, there is only one left: a9f2fbc ("net/mlx5: fix inconsistent link
status"). Woud you or Shahaf (the author) backport it, please?

I plan to do a stable patches review today or tomorrow, then the final
release will be out in about 2 weeks. If you could do that before it,
that'd be great. If not, it will be postponed to next release.
