Add a configuration option for the default state of turbo mode
on the smsc95xx networking driver. Some systems it is better
to default this to off as it causes significant increases in
soft-irq load.

Hi Ben

Is it worth adding a comment here why you would want to turn it off?
To reduce soft-irq load?

Thanks
