ag71xx: Reduce NAPI weight to 32.
Qualcomm claims this reduces cache misses. Original commit message below: From: Ben Menchaca <ben.menchaca@qca.qualcomm.com> Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:18:46 -0500 Subject: [ag71xx] reduce NAPI weight In an attempt to increase our cache warmth, we are decreasing NAPI. This increases the warmth of the reused SKBs. Signed-off-by: Ben Menchaca <ben.menchaca@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>
