These patches add byte queue limit support and also fixes a regression
issue introduced by commit
'net: thunderx: Use netdev's name for naming VF's interrupts'

The correct way to refer to commits when you fix a bug is
to use the "Fixes: " tag right before the signoffs and ACKs.

The correct form is:

Fixes: $SHA1_ID ("Commit header line.")

You'll see this in many other netdev commits.

Thanks a lot David for this enforcement, it really helps bug tracking
and backports

Note that the $SHA1_ID should be truncated to 12 first chars.

Refer to Documentation/SubmittingPatches around line 191 for more
details.
