Lock name should include interface name.
Tx queue and event queue lock name should include queue number.

Add separate software Tx queue limit for non-TCP traffic to make total
limit higher and avoid local drops of TCP packets because of no
backpressure.
There is no point to make non-TCP limit high since without backpressure
UDP stream easily overflows any sensible limit.
Split early drops statistics since it is better to have separate counter
for each drop reason to make it unabmiguous.
Add software Tx queue high watermark. The information is very useful to
understand how big queues grow under traffic load.

In fact the pointer is used only if more than one TXQ is processed in
one interrupt.
It is used (read-write) on completion path only.
Also it makes the first part of the structure smaller and it fits now
into one 128byte cache line. So, TXQ structure becomes 128 bytes smaller.

Also increase default for Tx queue get-list limit.
Too small limit results in TCP packets drops especiall when many
streams are running simultaneously.
Put list may be kept small enough since it is just a temporary
location if transmit function can't get Tx queue lock.

Remove trailing whitespaces and tabs.
Enclose value in return statements in parentheses.
Use tabs after #define.
Do not skip comparison with 0/NULL in boolean expressions.

Previous implementation limits put queue size only (when Tx lock can't
be acquired), but get queue may grow unboundedly which results in mbuf
pools exhaustion and latency growth.

based on Solarflare SFC9000 family controllers. The driver supports jumbo
frames, transmit/receive checksum offload, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO),
Large Receive Offload (LRO), VLAN checksum offload, VLAN TSO, and Receive Side
Scaling (RSS) using MSI-X interrupts.
