I don't see this behaviour at all:

$ ls -l /sys/class/net/enp0s25/device/driver                                                                                                                                                                                   :(

(yes, this is while running a cpu-hungry data processing application in
the background on all eight cores)

(hmm, why am I running pfifo_fast?)

Repeating with sch_fq:
