Subject: [PATCH] net: ethtool support to configure number of RX rings

o Ethtool hook to configure number of RX rings.
o Implementation is scalable to support configuring TX rings.
o There exist ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS command for getting number of RX rings,
  but it is tigtly coupled with RX flow hash configuration.
o Patches for qlcnic and netxen_nic driver supporting this features
  will follow soon.
