This patch partially implements the e1000 interrupt mitigation mechanisms.
Using a single QEMUTimer, it emulates the ITR register (which is the newer
mitigation register, recommended by Intel) and approximately emulates
RADV and TADV registers. TIDV and RDTR register functionalities are not
emulated (RDTR is only used to validate RADV, according to the e1000 specs).

RADV, TADV, TIDV and RDTR registers make up the older e1000 mitigation
mechanism and would need a timer each to be completely emulated. However,
a single timer has been used in order to reach a good compromise between
emulation accuracy and simplicity/efficiency.

The implemented mechanism can be enabled/disabled specifying the command
line e1000-specific boolean parameter "mit", e.g.

    qemu-system-x86_64 -device e1000,mitigation=on,... ...

For more information, see the Software developer's manual at
http://download.intel.com/design/network/manuals/8254x_GBe_SDM.pdf.

Interrupt mitigation boosts performance when the guest suffers from
an high interrupt rate (i.e. receiving short UDP packets at high packet
rate). For some numerical results see the following link
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/papers/20130520-rizzo-vm.pdf

I removed "mit_timer_on" and "mit_ide" from the VMstate subsection,
since in the migration scheme they are always loaded as 0 on
the destination QEMU instance. This also ensures that the mitigation
timer is never active across a migration, so that we don't need
to call qemu_mod_timer() in e1000_post_load().

Looks good.  I'd like to merge this for QEMU 1.7.  QEMU 1.6 is in hard
freeze right now and we cannot add new features.

In order to merge it into the net-next tree this hunk needs to be moved
from PC_COMPAT_1_5 to PC_COMPAT_1_6 (does not exist yet).  Please
introduce PC_COMPAT_1_6 in include/hw/i386/pc.h (and also update
hw/i386/pc_piix.c and hw/i386/pc_q35.c machine types) in a separate
commit.
