This patch adds a new schema used for mitigating the number of transmit interrupts. It is based on a SW timer and a threshold value. The timer is used to periodically call the stmmac_tx_clean function; the threshold is used for setting the IC (Interrupt on Completion bit). The ISR will then invoke the poll method. Also the patch improves some ethtool stat fields. V2: review the logic to manage the IC bit in the TDESC that was bugged because it didn't take care about the fragments. Also fix the tx_count_frames that has not to be limited to TX DMA ring. Thanks to Ben Hutchings. V3: removed the spin_lock irqsave/restore as D. Miller suggested.
