Re: [PATCH 1/3] net/ixgbe: move PCI device ids to the driver

Hello Ferruh,

PCI device ids moved from common header into ixgbe driver itself.

KNI starts using pci_device_id from kni/ethtool/ixgbe driver, this is
only for KNI ethtool support, KNI data path is not effected.

Thanks for working on this.

The only thing that bothers me using this ("unsynchronised") internal
pci device list is that, if people were using the ethtool part of kni,
there would now be devices that won't be recognised anymore.
Is it intentional ?
If so, we should explain why in the documentation.

Same comment for the igb patch.
