When the support for polling drivers was initially added, it only
considered Input Queue 0. But as QDIO interrupts are actually for the
full device and not a single queue, this doesn't really fit for
configurations where multiple Input Queues are used.
Rework the qdio code so that interrupts for a polling driver are not
split up into actions for each queue. Instead deliver the interrupt as
a single event, and let the driver decide which queue needs what action.
When re-enabling the QDIO interrupt via qdio_start_irq(), this means
that the qdio code needs to
(1) put _all_ eligible queues back into a state where they raise IRQs,
(2) and afterwards check _all_ eligible queues for new work to bridge
the race window.
On the qeth side of things (as the only qdio polling driver), we can now
add CQ polling support to the main NAPI poll routine. It doesn't consume
NAPI budget, and to avoid hogging the CPU we yield control after
completing one full queue worth of buffers.
The subsequent qdio_start_irq() will check for any additional work, and
have us re-schedule the NAPI instance accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
