It is being integrated for early access and customer testing.
These include standalone X550 adapters, X552 10GbE backplane, and
X552/X557-AT 10GBASE-T; with the latter two being integrated into Xeon D SoCs.
As well, this bumps the ixgbe version number to 2.8.3, and includes updates
to shared code for support for the new devices.

- Split the driver into independent pf and vf loadables. This is
in preparation for SRIOV support which will be following shortly.
This also allows us to keep a seperate revision control over the
two parts, making for easier sustaining.
- Make the TX/RX code a shared/seperated file, in the old code base
the ixv code would miss fixes that went into ixgbe, this model
will eliminate that problem.
- The driver loadables will now match the device names, something that
has been requested for some time.
- Rather than a modules/ixgbe there is now modules/ix and modules/ixv
- It will also be possible to make your static kernel with only one
or the other for streamlined installs, or both.
Enjoy!

Fixes:
- flow control - don't override user value on re-init
- fix to make 1G optics work correctly
- change to interrupt enabling - some bits were incorrect
for certain hardware.
- certain stats fixes, remove a duplicate increment of
ierror, thanks to Scott Long for pointing these out.
- shared code link interface changed, requiring some
core code changes to accomodate this.
- add an m_adj() to ETHER_ALIGN on the recieve side, this
was requested by Mike Karels, thanks Mike.
- Multicast code corrections also thanks to Mike Karels.
- This adds a VM SRIOV interface, ixv, it is however
transparent to the user, it links with the ixgbe.ko,
but when ixgbe is loaded in a virtualized guest with
SRIOV configured this will be detected.
- Sync shared code to latest
- Many bug fixes and improvements, thanks to everyone
who has been using the driver and reporting issues.
