Subject: [PATCH net-next V3 0/4] virtio_net: add per queue interrupt coalescing support

Currently, coalescing parameters are grouped for all transmit and receive
virtqueues. This patch series add support to set or get the parameters for
a specified virtqueue.

When the traffic between virtqueues is unbalanced, for example, one virtqueue
is busy and another virtqueue is idle, then it will be very useful to
control coalescing parameters at the virtqueue granularity.

Example command:
$ ethtool -Q eth5 queue_mask 0x1 --coalesce tx-packets 10
Would set max_packets=10 to VQ 1.
$ ethtool -Q eth5 queue_mask 0x1 --coalesce rx-packets 10
Would set max_packets=10 to VQ 0.
$ ethtool -Q eth5 queue_mask 0x1 --show-coalesce
