My answer has become to try to "get in the face" of more existing
standards bodies working at these layers.

Before that, it was "find a way to sit down with the actual driver
developer to go make these *very simple* changes to the underlying
firmware blob". A BQL-like technique is *not rocket science*. My
estimate was less than 3 days worth of engineering for someone
familiar with the firmware source, coupled with someone familiar with
the queue theory.

Merely limiting the maximum number of packets queued in the firmware
to 2x what is needed for interleave at that rate to work, is even
simpler, if less effective.
