Perhaps a more appropriate change would be in ixgbe_osdep.h:

+#ifndef bool
  typedef boolean_t	bool;
+#endif

This would change the size of the bool type as used in the ixgbe driver, 
but after a quick glance through the code, I don't think that would 
cause any trouble.  Try it; if it passes traffic, it's probably correct.
