After some discussion with Stephen and a few others internally, it doesn't look 
like there's any easy resolution to the i40e sysfs problems so for now we're 
going to leave that module out of our submission.  Yes, we may want to bring it 
back in the future, but not until we've had a chance to work through the 
fundamental problems and come up with an interface that will be more generic, 
usable, and acceptable by other similar drivers.

Thanks,
