I like the concept or rx batching. But controlling it via a module parameter
is one of the worst API choices.  Ethtool would be better to use because that is
how other network devices control batching.

If you do ethtool, you could even extend it to have an number of packets
and max latency value.

Right, this is better (I believe you mean rx-frames). For rx-usecs, we could do it on top in the future.

Thanks
