Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/2] virtio-net: bql support

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2018 17:54:15 -0500

When use_napi is set, let's enable BQLs.  Note: some of the issues are
similar to wifi.  It's worth considering whether something similar to
commit 36148c2bbfbe ("mac80211: Adjust TSQ pacing shift") might be
benefitial.
