It was outlined in the cover letter for the RFC [1].

But, briefly: we set a number of queues (say 16) via ethtool. We then
create a series of n-tuple filters directing certain flows to queues 0-7
via a custom RSS context. The remaining queues, 8-15 are for all other
flows via the default RSS context.

Queues 0-7 are used with busy polling from userland so we want those queues
to have a larger rx/tx-usecs rx/tx-frames than queues 8-15.

We implemented basic support for this in the RFC we sent to the mailing
list.
