here it is.

As a result of this patch, ixgbe_rx_enable_drop() and the disable function
become useless and should be removed.
Probably the code (or the commit log) should also mention that the DROP_EN
bit is only read when the rx unit is started, this is why the code should
go here and not in the sysctl handler.
