That's a pity it did not take into account the deprecation notice.
What kind of hack is it used for?
Can it be simply removed to allow quick merging of the PMD?
+1 for removing.
It seems to be a provision for future features, as this field is simply passed
to
an internal function that does not use it.

Thanks for review.
It can be just simply removed in txgbe driver.
OK, I will remove it in the next-net.
