The denial of service issue raised there, that a single queue can
block an entire virtio-net device, is less problematic in the case of
packet sockets. A socket can run out of sk_wmem_alloc, but a prudent
application can increase the limit or use separate sockets for
separate flows.

Perhaps this can be approximated without an explicit timer by calling
skb_copy_ubufs on enqueue whenever qlen exceeds a threshold value?
