This patch fails to compile because there is a call to
ixgbevf_write_tail() which you missed cleaning up.

Hah, I did a compile test but maybe I missed something. I will get v6 of
this patch only and leave the rest of the series as it is.

Actually you might want to just pull Jeff's tree and rebase before you
submit your patches. I suspect the difference is the ixgbevf XDP code
that is present in Jeff's tree and not in Dave's. The alternative is
to wait for Jeff to push the ixgbevf code and then once Dave has
pulled it you could rebase your patches.
Thanks.

For a change with delicate side effects, it doesn't create much
confidence if the code does not even compile.
Sinan, please put more care into the changes you are making.
Thank you.

I think the issue is the tree that code is getting tested has
undelivered code as Alex mentioned.
I was using linux-next 4.16 rc4 for testing.
I will rebase to Jeff's tree.
