This patch set allows disabling pause frame generation upon encountering
a kernel panic. This has proven to be helpful in lab environments where
devices are still being worked on, will panic for various reasons, and
will occasionally take down the entire Ethernet switch they are attached
to.

Changes in v3:

- early feedback as to whether we can disable pause on panic
- correct documentation
- simplify network device list traversal
- only need to disable pause frame generation (TX)

Changes in v2:

- introduce a dedicated callback that runs in panic context
