Export the API required to control the QMan portal interrupt coalescing
settings.

These are new APIs not just old APIs being exported.  What is the user
of these APIs?  Is the user being submitted?  We cannot have APIs in
kernel that has no users.

Hi,

These are new APIs that will be used in the DPAA Ethernet driver.
Changes for the DPAA QBMan and DPAA Ethernet follow different paths upstream
so the Ethernet driver patch that makes use of these APIs will be sent when
these changes reach the net-next/master tree.
