That doesn't work for Read completions: those need to wake a new
nfsd as soon as they complete.

Send and Write completion don't need timely handling unless the
SQ is out of SQEs. It would be nice to move that processing out
of the CQ handler.

Otherwise, no, I haven't considered leaving the Send CQ disarmed.
I assumed that, at least on mlx5 hardware, there is some interrupt
mitigation that helps in this regard.
