Rx:

RQ -- receive queue, on which you get Rx DMA complete descriptors
FQ -- fill queue, the one you fill with free buffers
  FQE -- fill queue element, i.e. smth like "iavf_rx_buffer" or whatever

Tx:

SQ -- send queue, the one you fill with buffers to transmit
  SQE -- send queue element, i.e. "iavf_tx_buffer"
CQ -- completion queue, on which you get Tx DMA complete descriptors

XDPSQ, XSkRQ etc. -- same as above, but for XDP / XSk

I know that rxq, txq, bufq, complq is more common since it's been used
for years, but I like these "new" ones more :>
