Do you agree to copy the remaining VF-specific functions from the
generic ethdev API to ixgbe in 17.02?
After a deprecation notice, we could remove them from the generic API in 17.05.
So we will have a consistent status in 17.05 regarding VF functions.

After some time (and experience) we will be able to discuss wether
we need something more to access to these specific features.
