10Gbit driver (ixgbe) with NAPI support

I was wondering wether someone managed to build ixgbe drivers for the current Proxmox 4.4.
When I try to build the driver, I get an error:

I was using ixgbe-5.1.3 on proxmox 4.4.62-1.

Problem solved:

vi /src/kcompat.h

Rename napi_consume_skb by ___napi_consume_skb

make
