  Log:
  Use hardware timer to simulate interrupt moderation.
  
  hw.nfeX.imtimer -> 0  no interrupt moderation at all.
  hw.nfeX.imtimer -> -Y hardware timer simulated interrupt moderation,
                        the simultated interrupt moderation timer will
                        be set to Y.
  hw.nfeX.imtimer -> Y  hardware timer only interrupt moderation,
                        hardware timer will be set to Y.
  
  Set hw.nfeX.imtimer to -125 (8000Hz) should work on most system.
  
  With heavier interrupt moderation (e.g. hw.nfeX.imtimer to -250), it is
  recommended to increase hw.nfe.rx_ring_count tunable to a higher value
  (e.g. 512), since the default value (128) is obviously too small.
