net: virtio_net: notifications coalescing support

Browse Source 
New VirtIO network feature: VIRTIO_NET_F_NOTF_COAL.

Control a Virtio network device notifications coalescing parameters
using the control virtqueue.

A device that supports this fetature can receive
VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL control commands.

- VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL_TX_SET:
  Ask the network device to change the following parameters:
  - tx_usecs: Maximum number of usecs to delay a TX notification.
  - tx_max_packets: Maximum number of packets to send before a
    TX notification.

- VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_NOTF_COAL_RX_SET:
  Ask the network device to change the following parameters:
  - rx_usecs: Maximum number of usecs to delay a RX notification.
  - rx_max_packets: Maximum number of packets to receive before a
    RX notification.
