It was reported that emulated e1000e devices in vmware esxi 6.5 Build

overrun interrupt bursts", v4.15-rc1). Some tracing shows that after
e1000e_trigger_lsc() is called, ICR reads out as 0x0 in e1000_msix_other()
on emulated e1000e devices. In comparison, on real e1000e 82574 hardware,
icr=0x80000004 (_INT_ASSERTED | _OTHER) in the same situation.(_INT_ASSERTED | _LSC)
Some experimentation showed that this flaw in vmware e1000e emulation can
be worked around by not setting Other in EIAC. This is how it was before
16ecba59bc33 ("e1000e: Do not read ICR in Other interrupt", v4.5-rc1).
