Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 1/2] ethtool: Add support for configuring PFC stall prevention in ethtool

From: Inbar Karmy <inbark@...lanox.com>

In the event where the device unexpectedly becomes unresponsive
for a long period of time, flow control mechanism may propagate
pause frames which will cause congestion spreading to the entire
network.
To prevent this scenario, when the device is stalled for a period
longer than a pre-configured timeout, flow control mechanisms are
automatically disabled.
This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GPFCPREVENTION/ETHTOOL_SPFCPREVENTION API,
handled by the new get_pfc_prevention_mode/set_pfc_prevention_mode
callbacks.
This API provides support for configuring flow control protection mechanism
into two deferent modes: default/auto.
