Since user may need to check the current configuration of the
interrupt coalesce, so add debugfs support for query this info,
which includes DIM profile, coalesce configuration of both software

Please create a file per vector so that users can just read it instead
of dumping the info into the logs.


This patch should be removed from this series right now. Since this new read method needs some adaptations and verifications, and there maybe another better ways to dump this info.

Even better we should put as much of this information as possible into
the ethtool API. dim state is hardly hardware-specific.


Should the ethtool API used to dump the hardware info? Could you provide some hints to do it?
