It might not be too bad - there's a single additional test on fastpath, and I am
guessing both wqe_index and rq.max should be in registers already.
Once wqe_index is out of rq.max range we are on slow path.

We can make it a compile-time option, so that users can disable it
once there's a firmware that does not need this code.
