Subject: [net 0/5][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-03-05

This series contains fixes to e1000e only.

Benjamin Poirier provides all the fixes in this series, starting with
workaround for a VMWare e1000e emulation issue where ICR reads 0x0 on
the emulated device.  Partially reverted a previous commit dealing with
the "Other" interrupt throttling to avoid unforeseen fallout from these
changes that are not strictly necessary.  Restored the ICS write for
receive and transmit queue interrupts in the case that txq or rxq bits
were set in ICR and the Other interrupt handler read and cleared ICR
before the queue interrupt was raised.  Fixed an bug where interrupts
may be missed if ICR is read while INT_ASSERTED is not set, so avoid the
problem by setting all bits related to events that can trigger the Other
interrupt in IMS.  Fixed the return value for check_for_link() when
auto-negotiation is off.

The following are changes since commit a7f0fb1bfb66ded5d556d6723d691b77a7146b6f:
  Merge branch 'hv_netvsc-minor-fixes'
