[net-next-2.6 PATCH 09/18] igb: cap interrupts at 20K per queue when in itr mode 3

[Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>]

From: Nick Nunley <nicholasx.d.nunley@intel.com>

In order to maintain similar performance between MSI-X and
legacy/MSI interrupts, this patch reduces the number of interrupts
when receiving small packets to 20K when in interrupt throttle
rate mode 3.
