I tried something similar and even split ipoib_ib_completion() into
two functions (to save dispatching between RX and TX completions). I
was not able to measure any performance improvement.
In fact I'm not convinced that this should be better, since it may
cause more interrupts and reduce the natural interrupt coalescing
effect that having all completions go to the same queue has.
