Bug#941291: Amazon ENA driver update for stable



Package: src:linux
Version: 4.19.67-2

ENA is an ethernet adaptor used on Amazon EC2 cloud instances.  Upstream
has recently merged a number of bug fixes and enhancements, and it would
be nice to have these available in stable.

Specific upstream changesets that I'm interested in are:

In theory it would be possible to pare down the list of commits to 
something more tightly focused, but the level of effort involved (and 
potential for regressions) would be quite a bit higher. Further, I would 
rather avoid diverging too far from what's in mainline.

I will provide a merge request on salsa with proposed changes.
