The patch is not only for ixgbevf, but also for ixgbe, right?
so how about changing the title with net/ixgbe started?

For igb_uio, did you check if it's necessary to call rte_intr_enable every 
time? Since rte interrupt is not disabled during 
ixgbevf_dev_rx_queue_intr_disable.

The same comment as above.
