Let's see if I understand - in CQ mode the timer is restarted very time new frame gets received/transmitted? IOW for a continuous stream of frames it will only generate an interrupt once it reaches max_frames? I think that if you need such a configuration knob we should add this as an option to the official ethtool -c/-C interface, now that we have the ability to extend the netlink API.
