Now, virtio-net already supports per-queue moderation parameter
setting. Based on this, we use the netdim library of linux to support
dynamic coalescing moderation for virtio-net.

Due to hardware scheduling issues, we only tested rx dim.
So patches 1 to 4 look ok but patch 5 is untested - we should
probably wait until it's tested properly.
Hi, Michael.

For a few reasons (reply to Jason's thread), I won't be trying to push tx
dim any more in the short term.

Please review the remaining patches.

Thanks a lot!

You got a bunch of comments from Jason - want to address them
in a new version then, and I'll review that?

@Test env
rxq0 has affinity to cpu0.

@Test cmd
client: taskset -c 0 sockperf tp -i ${IP} -t 30 --tcp -m ${msg_size}
server: taskset -c 0 sockperf sr --tcp

@Test res
The second column is the ratio of the result returned by client
when rx dim is enabled to the result returned by client when
rx dim is disabled.
