Jan Glauber d36deae750 qdio: extend API to allow polling
Extend the qdio API to allow polling in the upper-layer driver. This
is needed by qeth to use NAPI.

To use the new interface the upper-layer driver must specify the
queue_start_poll(). This callback is used to signal the upper-layer
driver that is has initiative and must process the inbound queue by
calling qdio_get_next_buffers(). If the upper-layer driver wants to
stop polling it calls qdio_start_irq().

Since adapter interrupts are not completely stoppable qdio implements
a software bit QDIO_QUEUE_IRQS_DISABLED to safely disable interrupts for an
input queue.

The old interface is preserved and will be used as is by zfcp.
