Bruce, Yocto kernel folks,

This issue has been around for long enough that we can be reasonably
confident that we won't get it fixed via linux-stable

Part of that reason is that with a hands-free backport, one runs into
some renaming changes between the mainline version and this older v5.15

We can see the three commits together in the netdev merge:

   $git log --oneline  v5.18-rc1~136^2~153 ^v5.18-rc1~136^2~153~
   b57b44f7496a Merge branch '10GbE' of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next -queue
   443ebdd68b44 ixgbevf: add disable link state
   008ca35f6e87 ixgbe: add improvement for MDD response functionality
   366fd1000995 ixgbe: add the ability for the PF to disable VF link state

...and the same three commits were picked up by Ubuntu and SuSE:

https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2021-33061

Ubuntu handled the renaming issues in a sensible fashion, so I decided to
not reinvent the wheel and just use the versions from the Canonical folks.

Build tested only, against today's v5.15/standard/base branch.

Thanks,
Paul.
