vamsi krishna a626fb1070 Add QCA vendor event to indicate throughput changes
Add interface for drivers to report changes in TX/RX throughput
dynamically to user space. This information can be used by userspace
tools to tune kernel's TCP parameters in order to achieve peak
throughput. The driver may optionally provide guidance on which TCP
parameters to be configured for optimal performance along with the
values to be configured.

The TCP parameters that need to be tuned for peak performance are not
interface specific. Based on the guidance from the driver and
considering the other interfaces that may be affected with the new
configurations, a userspace tool has to choose the values to be
configured for these parameters to achieve optimal performance across
interfaces.

The throughput levels informed by the driver with this event are only
for providing guidance on TCP parameter tuning from userspace. The
driver may change the thresholds used to decide low or medium or high
throughput levels based on several parameters based on the PHY layer
capacity in the current connection, the number of packets being
dispatched per second, or the number of packets pending in queues, etc.
The throughput levels may not be consistent with the actual throughput
of the link.
