    sys/dev/netif/nfe    if_nfe.c if_nfereg.h if_nfevar.h 
  Log:
  - Add interrupt moderation support by only using TIMER intr; IM is not
    possible when RX or TX intr is enabled.  With this change, my nfe(4)
    can TX at line speed finally (mtu 1500).
  - Add per iface sysctl node hw.nfeX.imtime to enable, disable and set
    interrupt moderation time.  Set it to -1 will disable IM; 64-128
    seems to be a reasonable value range.  This sysctl variable is _not_
    on by default, and can be tuned when the iface is running.
  - Nuke global sysctl nodes, make them per iface.
  
  # We may consider using TIMER intr under all situations, but with larger
  # imtime when IM is not enabled, since for certain type of nfe(4), TX
  # interrupts may never come.
