This patchset adds msi-x support to the alx driver. It is a preparatory series for multi queue support, which I am currently working on. As there is no advantage over msi interrupts without multi queue support, msi-x interrupts are disabled by default. In order to test for regressions, a new module parameter is added to enable msi-x interrupts.
