  • Since the netlink option for DCB is necessary to actually be useful,
    simplified the Kconfig option. In addition, added useful help text for the
    Kconfig option.

  • This adds support for Data Center Bridging (DCB) features in the ixgbe
    driver and adds an rtnetlink interface for configuring DCB to the
    kernel. The DCB feature support included are Priority Grouping (PG) -
    which allows bandwidth guarantees to be allocated to groups to traffic
    based on the 802.1q priority, and Priority Based Flow Control (PFC) -
    which introduces a new MAC control PAUSE frame which works at
    granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (IEEE 802.3x).
