Sean Anderson d57f7b4594 net: cadence: macb: Enable software IRQ coalescing by default
This NIC doesn't have hardware IRQ coalescing. Under high load,
interrupts can adversely affect performance. To mitigate this, enable
software IRQ coalescing by default. On my system this increases receive
throughput with iperf3 from 853 MBit/sec to 934 MBit/s, decreases
interrupts from 69489/sec to 2016/sec, and decreases CPU utilization
from 27% (4x Cortex-A53) to 14%. Latency is not affected (as far as I
can tell).

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 reStructuredText 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.
