It breaks the build with gcc >= 6.0 due to -Werror so yes we need to fix 
it, one way or the other.

As spelled out in an earlier mail 
(http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-March/034290.html), for somebody 
building with gcc >= 6.0 the options basically are:
1) disable the driver entirely
2) build with -Wno-error
3) paper over it with local warning disablers
4) patch the thing locally

If the offending function really is not used at all in DPDK context then 
3) is an entirely valid option for an upstream solution, ie something 
like (untested)

Aaron, have you tested this solution?
Are you going to provide a v3?

I haven't yet tested this solution, but if folks are that opposed to
changing the code, then I will test it and post a v3 of this particular
patch in the series. 

Thanks so much for the reviews and time on this (Panu AND Thomas :-)),
