SR-IOV: dpdk16.07 on guest and ixgbe 3.19.1 on host - will that be a problem ? (requested invalid api version)

[idata]

I see the below message "requested invalid api version" on host ? Will that be an issue or is it benign ? Should I upgrade the host ixgbe to a later version ?

On the host:

[69576.199458] ixgbe 0000:88:00.1 p4p2: VF 2 requested invalid api version 3
