====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-03-05

This series contains fixes to e1000e only.

Benjamin Poirier provides all but one fix in this series, starting with
workaround for a VMWare e1000e emulation issue where ICR reads 0x0 on
the emulated device.  Partially reverted a previous commit dealing with
the "Other" interrupt throttling to avoid unforeseen fallout from these
changes that are not strictly necessary.  Restored the ICS write for
receive and transmit queue interrupts in the case that txq or rxq bits
were set in ICR and the Other interrupt handler read and cleared ICR
before the queue interrupt was raised.  Fixed an bug where interrupts
may be missed if ICR is read while INT_ASSERTED is not set, so avoid the
problem by setting all bits related to events that can trigger the Other
interrupt in IMS.  Fixed the return value for check_for_link() when
auto-negotiation is off.

Pierre-Yves Kerbrat fixes e1000e to use dma_zalloc_coherent() to make
sure the ring is memset to 0 to prevent the area from containing
garbage.

v2: added an additional e1000e fix to the series
