Subject: [PATCH] igb: Make driver init async
When optimizing boot time for a platform with igb module, we found the
igb driver probe will take about 45 ms, make the probe asynchronous
will save quite some time as the init runs in parallel with other
asynchronous drivers.
In theory, this could be applied to some other drivers like igc or
e1000, but we don't have HW to verify that.
