Adds support for interrupt coalescing feature to reduce interrupt events.
Provides a mechanism of adjusting coalescing count and timeout tick by sysfs
at runtime, so that tradeoff of latency and CPU load can be made depending
on different applications.

change for V3
        change the title and comments according the feedback
        support dynamic config interrupt coalescing register by /sysfs
        test random small file with iometer
        adjust kernel source baseline for apply upstream
Description:
  1. fsl-sata interrupt will be raised 130 thousand times when write 8G file
    (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2 bs=128K count=65536);
  2. most of interrupts raised because of only 1-4 commands completed;
  3. only 30 thousand times will be raised after set max interrupt threshold,
    more interrupts are coalesced as the description of ICC;
Test methods and results:
  1. test sequential large file performance,
  [root@p2020ds root]# echo 31 524287 > \
        /sys/devices/soc.0/ffe18000.sata/intr_coalescing
  [root@p2020ds root]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2 bs=128K count=65536 &
  [root@p2020ds root]# top

   CPU %  |  dd   |  flush-8:0 | softirq
   ---------------------------------------
   before | 20-22 |    17-19   |    7
   ---------------------------------------
   after  | 18-21 |    15-16   |    5
   ---------------------------------------
   2. test random small file with iometer,
   iometer paramters:
   4 I/Os burst length, 1MB transfer request size, 100% write, 2MB file size
     as default configuration of interrupt coalescing register, 1 interrupts and
   no timeout config, total write performance is 119MB per second,
     after config with the maximum value, write performance is 110MB per second.

   After compare the test results, a configuable interrupt coalescing should be
   better when cope with flexible context.
