2e1706f234 e1000e: remove use of IP payload checksum
Currently only used when packet split mode is enabled with jumbo frames,
IP payload checksum (for fragmented UDP packets) is mutually exclusive with
receive hashing offload since the hardware uses the same space in the
receive descriptor for the hardware-provided packet checksum and the RSS
hash, respectively.  Users currently must disable jumbos when receive
hashing offload is enabled, or vice versa, because of this incompatibility.
Since testing has shown that IP payload checksum does not provide any real
benefit, just remove it so that there is no longer a choice between jumbos
or receive hashing offload but not both as done in other Intel GbE drivers
(e.g. e1000, igb).

Also, add a missing check for IP checksum error reported by the hardware;
let the stack verify the checksum when this happens.

2fbe4526e5 e1000e: initial support for i217
i217 is the next-generation LOM that will be available on systems with the
Lynx Point Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chipset from Intel.  This patch
provides the initial support for the device.

cf955e6c96 e1000e: Support RXALL feature flag.
This allows the NIC to receive all frames available, including
those with bad FCS, un-matched vlans, ethernet control frames,
and more.

Tested by sending frames with bad FCS.

70495a500d e1000e: add Receive Packet Steering (RPS) support
Enable RPS by default.  Disallow jumbo frames when both receive checksum
and receive hashing are enabled because the hardware cannot do both IP
payload checksum (enabled when receive checksum is enabled when using
packet split which is used for jumbo frames) and provide RSS hash at the
same time.

v2: added ethtool command to query flow hashing behavior per Ben Hutchings
    and changed the type of rsskey to cleanup the setting of the register
    array and avoid unnecessary casts (as pointed out by Joe Perches).
    The long error messages are not changed since there is nothing in
    the kernel ./Documentation that suggests the preferred method for
    dealing with long messages other than to never break strings; leaving
    them as-is for now.
