Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/1] ixgbe: add fiber tranceiver plug/unplug notifier 

Hi, Don

The latest patch is based on your suggestion.
The changes are as below:

1. Replace IXGBE_IDENTIFIER with IXGBE_ESDP;
2. Replace plug interrupt with poll;
3. Indicate the NICs that does not support to plug/unplug tranceiver as plugged;

The patch can work well with the following steps:

 1. boot the host
 2. ip link set eth0 up
 3. unplug the fiber tranceiver
 4. a message NETDEV_FIBER_TRANCEIVER_UNPLUG is sent
 5. plug the fiber tranceiver
 6. a notifier NETDEV_FIBER_TRANCEIVER_PLUG is sent

Any reply is appreciated.
