RXQ interrupts under Linux are based on the epoll mechanism. An
expected order of operations is as follows:
1. Call rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable(), to arm the CQ for receiving events
on data input.
2. Block on rte_epoll_wait() with an array of file descriptors
representing the CQ events. Upon data arrival the kernel will signal an
input event on the corresponding CQ fd.
3. Call rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable() after the event was received and
continue in polling mode. The mlx4 implementation of
rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable() is to get the CQ event and ack it.
In practice applications may wake up from rte_epoll_wait() due to
timeout with no event to ack but still call
rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable() unconditionally. In such cases the call
should return EAGAIN (since the file descriptors are non-blocked), as
opposed to EINVAL which indicates a real failure. In case of EAGAIN the
PMD should not warn on "unable to disable interrupt on rx queue".
