Hi Liu Qiang,

The patch is fine except for the title and comment.  It's too vague to
say I/O load balancing.  You need explicit description like "add
interrupt coalescing support" as title.
quoted
Reduce interrupt signals through reset Interrupt Coalescing Control Reg.
Provide dynamic method to adjust interrupt signals and timer ticks by
sysfs.
quoted
It is a tradeoff for different applications.
How about:

Adds support for interrupt coalescing feature to reduce interrupt events.
Provides mechanism of adjusting coalescing count and timeout tick by
sysfs on runtime, so that tradeoff of latency and CPU load can be made
depending on applications.
Ok, I will change the title and comments more specifically.
