Subject: [PATCH] net-sysfs: expose IRQ number

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

Knowing IRQ number makes e.g. reading /proc/interrupts much simpler.
It's more reliable than guessing device name used by a driver when
calling request_irq().

I found a script parsing /proc/interrupts for a given interface name. It wasn't
working for me as it assumed request_irq() was called with a device name. It's
not a case for all drivers.

I also found some other people looking for a proper solution for that:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/275075/programmatically-determine-the-irqs-associated-with-a-network-interface
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7516984/retrieving-irq-number-of-a-nic

Let me know if this solution makes sense. I can say it works for me ;)
