[SRU][Vivid][PATCH 0/3] i40e: Patch set required to resolve lp1497812

[Joseph Salisbury]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497812

== Vivid SRU Justification ==

Using 3.19.0-28-generic #30~14.04.1-Ubuntu with stock i40e
driver version 2.2.2-k makes every 'non physical' MAC output
frame appear as copied back at input, as if the switch was
doing frame 'mirroring' (and/or hair-pinning).

If SRIOV is enabled we need to be in VEB mode not VEPA mode at probe.
    This fixes an NPAR bug when SRIOV is enabled in the BIOS.

== Fix ==
