Linux supports 22 different interrupt coalescing parameters.
No driver implements them all. Some drivers just ignore the
ones they don't support, while others have to carry a long
list of checks to reject unsupported settings.
To simplify the drivers add the ability to specify inside
ethtool_ops which parameters are supported and let the core
reject attempts to set any other one.
This commit makes the mechanism an opt-in, only drivers which
set ethtool_opts->coalesce_types to a non-zero value will have
the checks enforced.
The same mask is used for global and per queue settings.
v3: - move the (temporary) check if driver defines types
earlier (Michal)
- rename used_types -> nonzero_params, and
coalesce_types -> supported_coalesce_params (Alex)
- use EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL (Andrew, Michal)
Leaving the long series of ifs for now, it seems nice to
be able to grep for the field and flag names. This will
probably have to be revisited once netlink support lands.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
