Let's see if I understand - in CQ mode the timer is restarted very time
new frame gets received/transmitted? IOW for a continuous stream of
frames it will only generate an interrupt once it reaches max_frames?
I think that if you need such a configuration knob we should add this as
an option to the official ethtool -c/-C interface, now that we have the
ability to extend the netlink API.
