I'm not sure, most fixes are for igb, considering igb is complicated
and just introduced since 8.0, it should be considered as a technical
preview somehow. Then I'm not sure whether or not it's worth it to
backport them. For the rest, it looks like it should be fine to go for
-stable.

Akihiko, what's your thoughts?

Thanks
