[netdrvr forcedeth] support for irq mitigation
This patch contains support for different modes of interrupt mitigation of forcedeth. It includes changes based on Jeff's comments. Currently, the modes are changed through module parameters since ethtool does not support something similar. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com>
