Subject: [net-next v4] intel: make module parameters readable in sys filesystem

Linux users sometimes need an easy way to check current values of module
parameters. For example the module may be manually reloaded with different
parameters. Make these visible and readable in the /sys filesystem to allow
that. But don't make the "debug" module parameter visible as debugging is
enabled via ethtool msglvl.

Signed-off-by: Jon Maxwell <jmaxwell37@...il.com>
---
V2: Remove the "debug" module parameter as per Andrew Lunns suggestion.
V3: Correctly format v2.
V4: Add ethtool msglvl to message. Remove deprecated ixgbe max_vfs
