OK, well I tweaked the v3 I had queued  based on your feedback. I am
definitiely not an mlx5 expert, so I have no idea if it's correct.

The changes can be summed up as:
  - mlx5e_activate_channel and mlx5e_deactivate_channel to use
    netif_queue_set_napi for each mlx5e_txqsq as it is
    activated/deactivated. I assumed sq->txq_ix is the correct index, but I
    have no idea.
  - mlx5e_activate_qos_sq and mlx5e_deactivate_qos_sq to handle the QOS/HTB
    case, similar to the above.
  - IRQ storage removed

If you think that sounds vaguely correct, I can send the v3 tomorrow when
it has been >24hrs as per Rahul's request.

OK, great. Thanks for letting me know; we are definitely interested in
using this feature.
