<content type='text'>
Currently, there are many drivers who support CQE mode configuration,
some configure it as a fixed when initialized, some provide an
interface to change it by ethtool private flags. In order to make it
more generic, add two new 'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX' and
'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX' coalesce attributes, then these
parameters can be accessed by ethtool netlink coalesce uAPI.

Also add an new structure kernel_ethtool_coalesce, then the
new parameter can be added into this struct.

ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET is missing from the list of messages.
ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET_REPLY is sadly a rather long name
so we need to adjust column length.

<title>ethtool: add FEC statistics</title>

<id>be85dbfeb37c8c4d4344da2ee594d78034b82489</id>
<content type='text'>
Similarly to pause statistics add stats for FEC.

The IEEE standard mandates two sets of counters:
 - 30.5.1.1.17 aFECCorrectedBlocks
 - 30.5.1.1.18 aFECUncorrectableBlocks
where block is a block of bits FEC operates on.
Each of these counters is defined per lane (PCS instance).

Multiple vendors provide number of corrected _bits_ rather
than/as well as blocks.

This set adds the 2 standard-based block counters and a extra
one for corrected bits.

Counters are exposed to user space via netlink in new attributes.
Each attribute carries an array of u64s, first element is
the total count, and the following ones are a per-lane break down.

Much like with pause stats the operation will not fail when driver
does not implement the get_fec_stats callback (nor can the driver
fail the operation by returning an error). If stats can't be
reported the relevant attributes will be empty.

Define get_module_eeprom_by_page() ethtool callback and implement
netlink infrastructure.

get_module_eeprom_by_page() allows network drivers to dump a part of
module's EEPROM specified by page and bank numbers along with offset and
length. It is effectively a netlink replacement for get_module_info()
and get_module_eeprom() pair, which is needed due to emergence of
complex non-linear EEPROM layouts.
