From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com>

Add two parameters for drivers supporting Rx CQE Coalescing.

ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_CQE_FRAMES:
Maximum number of frames that can be coalesced into a CQE.

ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_CQE_NSECS:
Time out value in nanoseconds after the first packet arrival in a
coalesced CQE to be sent.

A new API needs a user. A kAPI especially needs a user. Please add
support to at least one driver.

Sure, next time I will include MANA driver patches using this kAPI
in the same series. The MANA HW/FW API is still being worked on by
other teams.

Thanks,
- Haiyang
