There are 2 patches here. Please split.

>  static inline int
> -i40evf_dev_atomic_read_link_status(struct rte_eth_dev *dev,
> -				   struct rte_eth_link *link)
> -{
> -	struct rte_eth_link *dst = link;
> -	struct rte_eth_link *src = &(dev->data->dev_link);
> -
> -	if (rte_atomic64_cmpset((uint64_t *)dst, *(uint64_t *)dst,
> -					*(uint64_t *)src) == 0)
> -		return -1;
> -
> -	return 0;
> -}

Not directly related to this patch, but it could be a good idea to start
using rte_eth_dev_atomic_read_link_status() instead of copying this function 
in each PMD.
