Currently, there many drivers who support CQE mode configuration,
some configure it as a fixed when initialized, some provide an
interface to change it by ethtool private flags. In order make it
more generic, add two new 'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX' and
'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX' coalesce attributes, then these
parameters can be accessed by ethtool netlink coalesce uAPI.

The description in the following document is consistent with my
understanding. I'll add the following paragraph and add
"Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>" to the patch.
Thanks for your correction.
