[PATCH net-next 3/3] net/mlx4_core: Use msi_x module param to limit num of MSI-X irqs

[Tariq Toukan]

Extend the boolean interpretation of msi_x module parameter
to numerical, as follows:

0   - Don't use MSI-X.
1   - Use MSI-X, driver decides the num of MSI-X irqs.
>=2 - Use MSI-X, limit number of MSI-X irqs to msi_x.
      In SRIOV, this limits the number of MSI-X irqs per VF.
