I'm wondering about the driver architecture here.  What is gained by
having iwch_poll_cq_one() call an inline function from another
module's header file, which in turn calls an exported function from
that other module?  There are no other users of cxio_poll_cq() or
__cxio_poll_cq() so what is gained by this?

Basically what is gained by splitting the driver into 3 pieces?
