e1000: allow ethtool coalesece to adjust interrupts per second
This patch allows on-the-fly adjustment of the interrupts per second generated
by e1000 devices 82545/82546 (hardware support of ITR register is a
requirement)
adjust using this command:
ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 10
where 10 is 10 microseconds per interrupt interval, so 10 = 100,000 interrupts
per second, and 125 = 8000 interrupts per second.
changes should be immediate.
1,3 are special values and indicate the automatic tuning mode to the driver,
where 1 is 4000-90000 interrupts per second and 3 is 4000-20000 interrupts
per second and is the driver default.
