As far as I know, Heng Qi does that. I'm not sure, it's the same piece.

Thanks.
Do you mean the one below?

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202303/msg00415.html

The code is to implement what it described and I don't have better 
words. So, I copied the text from Heng Qi's.

Currently, coalescing parameters are grouped for all transmit and receive
virtqueues. This patch series add support to set or get the parameters for
a specified virtqueue.

When the traffic between virtqueues is unbalanced, for example, one virtqueue
is busy and another virtqueue is idle, then it will be very useful to
control coalescing parameters at the virtqueue granularity.

Example command:
$ ethtool -Q eth5 queue_mask 0x1 --coalesce tx-packets 10
Would set max_packets=10 to VQ 1.
$ ethtool -Q eth5 queue_mask 0x1 --coalesce rx-packets 10
Would set max_packets=10 to VQ 0.
$ ethtool -Q eth5 queue_mask 0x1 --show-coalesce

Patch-3: Support per queue interrupt coalesce command.
Patch-4: Enable per queue interrupt coalesce feature.
