The following seems to work:
	struct rte_eth_fc_conf fcoff = {
		.pause_time = DEFAULT_FCPAUSE,
		.send_xon = 1,
		.mode = RTE_FC_NONE,
	};
...
	/* Disable 802 flow control since it can lead to head-of-line
	   blocking. Ignore errors some drivers do it now. */
	ret = rte_eth_dev_flow_ctrl_set(portid, &fcoff);
	if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENOTSUP)
               log a message..
