Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ixgbe: add additional parameter options

With the new userland ASCII parameter file available, add a few
new parameters for finer control of some driver activity.

dca=off	Disable DCA (Direct Cache Access) activity

FdirPballoc=N
	Flow Director packet buffer allocation control
	1 = 8k hash filters or 2k perfect filters
	2 = 16k hash filters or 4k perfect filters
	3 = 32k hash filters or 8k perfect filters

AtrSampleRate=N
	Set the Software ATR Tx packet sample rate to every Nth packet,
	from 0 (disabled) to 255.
