Patch for ixgbe which has been used with DPDK 18.02, 18.05.
If the link flaps before link status has been successfully
collected, the MAC will be reset and the PMD will not wait
long enough for it to come back up before giving up, which
will continue happening every time an attempt is made to
check the link status.
This patch was submitted to upstream DPDK in July 2018 but
it has not been included in a release yet.

Memory allocation changed in DPDK 18.05. The mlx4 and mlx5
PMDs did not support using externally allocated memory.
The patch for mlx5 was generated by Mellanox. That patch was
modified to apply to the mlx4 PMD and tested on Microsoft
Azure.
