+Description: i40e: implement vector PMD for altivec
+
+    From: Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+
+    This patch enables i40e driver in powerpc along with its altivec
+    intrinsic support.
+
+    Changes:
+    v4 - docs and config update.
+    v3 - minor corrections for coding style standard.
+    v2 - minor corrections for gcc strict aliasing and coding style standard.
+
+    Signed-off-by: Gowrishankar Muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
