aha yep that snuck in there. In a follow up patch for the fm10k devices
where we can support hash tables (e.g. divisor > 1) I use it. Although
on closer inspection I need to check that the divisor == 1 on ixgbe or
else abort because we can get out of sync if software expects hash
tables here.

Thanks, nice catch.
