e1000/e1000e: implement a simple interrupt moderation

Browse Source 
Back before e1000-7.3.20, the e1000 driver had a simple algorithm that
managed interrupt moderation.  The driver was updated in 7.3.20 to
have the new "adaptive" interrupt moderation but we have customer
requests to redeploy the old way as an option.  This patch adds the
old functionality back.  The new functionality can be enabled via
module parameter or at runtime via ethtool.
Module parameter: (InterruptThrottleRate=4) to use this new
moderation method.
Ethtool method: ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs 4
