We don't need to refill the rx descriptors on every napi
if only a few were handled.  Waiting until we can batch up
a few together will save us a few Rx cycles.

isn't 64 a bit high ? 64 is the default napi budget 

Many drivers do this with bulks of 8/16 but I couldn't find any with
higher numbers.

also, just for a reference, GRO and XDP they bulk up to 8. but not
more.

IMHO i think you need to relax the re-fill threshold a bit.

Yeah, the work being done internally on tuning has been a bit 
aggressive, I can dial this back a bit.
