ixgbe: improve EEPROM read/write operations
Introduce buffered read/writes which greatly improves performance on
parts with large EEPROMs.
Previously reading/writing a word requires taking/releasing of synchronization
semaphores which adds 10ms to each operation. The optimization is to
read/write in buffers, but make sure the semaphore is not held for >500ms
according to the datasheet.
Since we can't read the EEPROM page size ixgbe_detect_eeprom_page_size() is
used to discover the EEPROM size when needed and keeps the result in
word_page_size for the rest of the run time.
Use buffered reads for ethtool -e.
