e1000e: Fix ICR "Other" causes clear logic
This commit fixes a bug which causes the guest to hang. The bug was observed upon a "receive overrun" (bit #6 of the ICR register) interrupt which could be triggered post migration in a heavy traffic environment. Even though the "receive overrun" bit (#6) is masked out by the IMS register (refer to the log below) the driver still receives an interrupt as the "receive overrun" bit (#6) causes the "Other" - bit #24 of the ICR register - bit to be set as documented below. The driver handles the interrupt and clears the "Other" bit (#24) but doesn't clear the "receive overrun" bit (#6) which leads to an infinite loop. Apparently the Windows driver expects that the "receive overrun" bit and other ones - documented below - to be cleared when the "Other" bit (#24) is cleared. So to sum that up: 1. Bit #6 of the ICR register is set by heavy traffic 2. As a results of setting bit #6, bit #24 is set 3. The driver receives an interrupt for bit 24 (it doesn't receieve an interrupt for bit #6 as it is masked out by IMS) 4. The driver handles and clears the interrupt of bit #24 5. Bit #6 is still set. 6. 2 happens all over again The Interrupt Cause Read - ICR register: The ICR has the "Other" bit - bit #24 - that is set when one or more of the following ICR register's bits are set: LSC - bit #2, RXO - bit #6, MDAC - bit #9, SRPD - bit #16, ACK - bit #17, MNG - bit #18 This bug can occur with any of these bits depending on the driver's behaviour and the way it configures the device. However, trying to reproduce it with any bit other than RX0 is challenging and came to failure as the drivers don't implement most of these bits, trying to reproduce it with LSC (Link Status Change - bit #2) bit didn't succeed too as it seems that Windows handles this bit differently.
