This isn't the case. The FPGA is programmed, and indeed I'm using the
second MAC routed through PL to SFP.
The interesting thing is that I'm seeing the exact behavior on the
other side (another Zynq7 board), with eth0 having lots of interrupts.
It seems that the interface receiving packets doesn't have a high IRQ
activity in contrast to the one sending packets.
