[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v2 2/4] e1000e: Do not read icr in Other interrupt

[Benjamin Poirier]

Using eiac instead of reading icr allows us to avoid interference with
rx and tx interrupts in the Other interrupt handler.

According to the 82574 datasheet section 10.2.4.1, interrupt causes that
trigger the Other interrupt are
1) Link Status Change.
2) Receiver Overrun.
3) MDIO Access Complete.
4) Small Receive Packet Detected.
5) Receive ACK Frame Detected.
6) Manageability Event Detected.

Causes 3, 4, 5 are related to features which are not enabled by the
driver. Always assume that cause 1 is what triggered the Other interrupt
and set get_link_status. Cause 2 and 6 should be rare enough that the
extra cost of needlessly re-reading the link status is negligible.
