We are looking at tuning an igb (Intel 82575 based) device for absolutely 
fastest latency (at the cost of some throughput/overhead of course).

It seems that the interrupt timers are not available from the standard drivers 
official documentation:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5177/6mbbc4g6c?l=Ja&a=view

Although there is plenty documentation on the tuning that should be possible 
from Intel at:

http://download.intel.com/design/network/applnots/ap450.pdf

We'd like to be able to tune this per port, as we have one port where we only 
need low latency, the other ports may have mixed performance characteristics.

Are there any way to manage/configure the interrupt coalescing for these newer 
ports?

On the previous x4150, it was possible by configuring the e1000g interface, see:

for details.

Any ideas?
