Currently the driver does not support adaptive/dynamic interrupt moderation. This patch adds support for this. Also, adaptive/dynamic interrupt moderation is turned on by default upon driver load. In order to support adaptive interrupt moderation, two functions were added, ice_update_itr() and ice_itr_divisor(). These are used to determine the current packet load and to determine a divisor based on link speed respectively. This patch also adds the ICE_ITR_GRAN_S define that is used in the hot-path when setting a new ITR value. The shift is used to pet two birds with one hand, set the ITR value while re-enabling the interrupt. Also, the ICE_ITR_GRAN_S is defined as 1 because the device has a ITR granularity of 2usecs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
