Subject: [net-next 07/12] e1000e: default IntMode based on kernel config & available hardware support

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

Based on a patch from Prabhakar Kushwaha <prabhakar@...escale.com>, set
appropriate default interrupt mode dependent on whether CONFIG_PCI_MSI
is enabled in the kernel configuration and if the hardware supports
MSI-X.  Set the module parameter log message accordingly.
