Based on a report from Ethan Zhao, before calling register_netdev() the
driver should be using logging macros that do not display the potentially
confusing "(unregistered net_device)" yet still display the useful driver
name and PCI bus/device/function.

During merge of net to net-next the changes in patch:
e1000e: Fix default interrupt throttle rate not set in NIC HW
got munged in param.c of the e1000e driver. This rectifies the
merge issues.

Conflicts:

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell. In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.
In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr. 'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

Based on the original patch from Ying Cai <ycai@google.com>
This change ensures that the itr/itr_setting adjustment logic is used,
even for the default/compiled-in value.
Context:
When we changed the default InterruptThrottleRate value from default
(3 = dynamic mode) to 8000 for example, only adapter->itr_setting
(which controls interrupt coalescing mode) was set to 8000, but
adapter->itr (which controls the value set in NIC register) was not
updated accordingly. So from ethtool, it seemed the interrupt
throttling is enabled at 8000 intr/s, but the NIC actually was
running in dynamic mode which has lower CPU efficiency especially
when throughput is not high.

Now that split strings generate checkpatch warnings (per Chapter 2 of
Documentation/CodingStyle to make it easier to grep the code for the
string) cleanup the remaining instances of them in the driver.

This enables enabling/disabling reception of the Ethernet
FCS. This can be useful when sniffing packets.
For e1000e, enabling RXFCS can change the default
behaviour for how the NIC handles CRC. Disabling RXFCS
will take the NIC back to defaults, which can be configured
as part of the module options.

Based on a patch from Prabhakar Kushwaha <prabhakar@freescale.com>, set
appropriate default interrupt mode dependent on whether CONFIG_PCI_MSI
is enabled in the kernel configuration and if the hardware supports
MSI-X. Set the module parameter log message accordingly.

The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for
most of these drivers. But we want to clean that up. Call out the
include of module.h in the modular network drivers.
