This change adds support for the ethtool set_channels operation.

Since the ixgbe driver has to support DCB as well as the other modes the
assumption I made here is that the number of channels in DCB modes refers
to the number of queues per traffic class, not the number of queues total.

In DCB mode are there separate IRQs for the different classes?

Yes.  The Rx packet buffer is split into multiple packet buffers, one
for each online class.  After that, it's just queues assigned to the
packet buffers, and interrupts assigned however you want them to be.
