hi,
I have verified this patch on two testbeds one for host and the other
for target. I used tcp as transport protocol, spdk perf as initiator. 
I do two group tests. The IO size of first is 4K, and the other is 2M. 
Both includ randrw, randwrite and randrw.  Both have same prerequisites.
At the initiator side I used 1 qp, 32 queue depth,and 1 spdk perf 
application, and for target side I bound tcp queue to 1 target core.
And I get below results.
iosize_4k        polling queue                        interrupt
randrw           NIC_rx:338M/s NIC_tx:335M/s      NIC_rx:260M/s
NIC_tx:258M/s
randwrite        NIC_rx:587M/s                    NIC_rx:431M/s
randread         NIC_tx:873M/s                    NIC_tx:654M/s

iosize_2M        polling queue                        interrupt
randrw           NIC_rx:738M/s NIC_tx:741M/s      NIC_rx:674M/s
NIC_tx:674M/s
randwrite        NIC_rx:1199M/s                   NIC_rx:1146M/s
randread         NIC_tx:2226M/s                   NIC_tx:2119M/s

For iosize 4k the NIC's bandwidth of poling queue is more than 30% than
bandwidth of interrupt. But for iosize 2M the improvement is not obvious,
the randrw of polling queue is about 9% more than interrupt; randwrite 
and randread of polling queue is about 5% more than interrupt.

Thanks,
Ping
