I'm sorry I already submitted v2 and helpers are present i40e_type.h.
I would submit v3 but there is also i40e_is_vf() inline function already 
present in i40e_type. Would you be OK with a follow-up that would move 
all these inlines into i40e_prototype.h?

Btw i40e.h is not a good idea as this would bring a dependency on i40e.h 
into i40e_adminq.c, i40e_common.c and i40e_dcb.c.
