    em(4): Reduce TX interrupt rate and device's TX desc write requests
    
    The RS (report status) bit in the TX desc controls whether DD bit
    should be set by device (via write request) and whether TX interrupt
    should be generated.  By setting RS bit in the last TX desc of
    int_tx_nsegs TX descs, we greatly reduce the TX interrupt rate
    (from 20000/s to 1200/s for full speed 1472bytes UDP datagrams) and
    the number of device's TX desc write requests.  This also gives me
    additional +10Kpps on 82573E_IAMT.  Add sysctl node for int_tx_nsegs,
    its default value is 1/16 number of TX descs.  The implementation
    details are commented near struct adapter's related fields.
