Just so that I am clear, are you suggesting to enable this by default
in snoc.c, similar to what you did in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220905071805.31625-2-quic_mpubbise@quicinc.com/
. If my understanding is correct and there is no objection, I can
remove hw_param and enable it by default on snoc.c .
I used hw_param because, as I see it, threaded NAPI can have some
adverse effect on the cache utilization and power.

Thanks
Abhishek
