[NET-NEXT PATCH 20/20] igb: Improve multiqueue AIM support

From: Jeff Kirsher
Date: Tue Jul 08 2008 - 18:15:04 EST


From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxx>

Improve multiqueue performance
Change itr_val to reflect ITR timer value instead of ints/sec
Cleaned up AIM algorithms in general

Based on work by Mitch Williams
