Can you avoid modifications in the e1000/base code?
We do not modify (and maintain) that part on our own.
Instead we take it straight from Intel ND.  
So if you feel like these changes are really necessary - please submit a patch
to ND first, and if your changes will be applied, will pick it up from them. 

I was not aware we can submit a change to ND for Intel base drivers.
What is the procedure please?
May it be documented in the DPDK doc?

Thanks
