kern/150247: [patch] [ixgbe] Version in -current won't build on 7.x systems

[Andrew Boyer]

While I understand that's generally the case, it's how Intel supports older releases.  The code in -current does support building within older releases (at least 7.X and 8.X), except for the flaws I pointed out.

Jack Vogel submitted r217129, r217131, and r217132 to fix this PR, but didn't mark it closed.
