[PATCH v1 1/3] virtio-net: Using single MSIX IRQ for TX/RX Q pair

[Ravi Kerur <rkerur@gmail.com>]

Ported earlier patch from Jason Wang (dated 12/26/2014).

This patch tries to reduce the number of MSIX irqs required for
virtio-net by sharing a MSIX irq for each TX/RX queue pair through
channels. If transport support channel, about half of the MSIX irqs
were reduced.
