** Description changed: + [FFE] + IMHO not fully being an FFE, but wanted to double check as we are really late in the cycle. The doc says "f you have doubts about if something qualifies, check with a member of ubuntu-release (or subscribe ubuntu-release to the bug)". + Background of this is that we enabled DPDK (and openvswitch-dpdk) for ppc64el in the zesty cycle. IBM committed to work on upstream to make this better supported. Part of that is work is the patch in this bug (and its sibling bug 1670689). That will make more of the HW available on power working properly with DPDK. + For FFE ack speaks: + - essentially it is "fixing" the i40e driver to work on ppc64el + - only minimally touching other arches + - without it the new ppc64el enablement is a bit of a lackluster + Against FFE: + - On some Point of views one could argue that this is a "feature" and it is too late (which is why I made this an FFE to get an ack) + + ---- + Request to enable i40e poll mode driver (Intel Xl710) in ppc64le. Upstream patch for this feature is available as: http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/20680/
