The driver logs normal things like choice of AVX at NOTICE level.
This shows up as unnecessary noise to regular users.
Bugzilla ID: 1936
Fixes: 3f24891594c1 ("net/i40e: use common Rx path selection infrastructure")
Fixes: 8d57c1788806 ("net/i40e: use common Tx path selection infrastructure")

As with the other patchset changing the log level of these messages, I'm
not convinced they are bugs as-such. However, since we have a bugzilla I'm
keeping the fixes-lines. Dropping the cc to stable, though, as we don't
need this backported.
Applied to dpdk-next-net-intel,
Thanks,

I just want programs like dumpcap not to get spammed with noise.
Certainly not worth back porting.
