I probably prefer that you do actually have if_ix and if_ixv.  There's always
the ifconfig hack for NIC drivers that wants to autoload if_<foo>.ko to
consider.  I think it is also more friendly to users if 10 supports both the
old and new models as it gives them more time to transition.  However,
reverting back to a single if_ixgbe.ko is also ok.
