If adapter interrupts are not available and traditional IO interrupts
are used for qdio the inbound tasklet continued to run if new data
arrived. That could possibly block other tasklets scheduled on the
same CPU. If new data arrives schedule the tasklet again instead of
directly processing the new data.
