I have no specific objection.  However, I thought that as a general rule
we cherry-pick fixes and new hardware support rather than completely
updating drivers.  I'm aware that we've broken that rule for sfc and for
DRM, but in those cases we have a commitment from upstream to support
the backport.  Can we get that for igb?
