Please note the commit below, in particular the UPDATING entry.
In short, if you use
em ix ixv ixl iavf vmx
drivers and compile them into kernel statically, you need to add
device iflib to your configs.
Standard in-tree configs were updated, so if you do e.g. 'include GENERIC'
you do not need to do anything.

+ Iflib is no longer unconditionally compiled into the kernel. Drivers
+ using iflib and statically compiled into the kernel, now require
+ the 'device iflib' config option. For the same drivers loaded as
