Rereading this I think I misunderstood the proposal.
Now we are burning memory on maintaining mode, and this information is
duplicated.

I'd say let's just add a new command COAL_QUEUE_SET with vqn
as parameter. Existing commands are simply defined as
a shortcut to running COAL_QUEUE_SET on all tx/rx queues
respectively.

Latest command dictates the parameters. To disable just set everything
to 0 (btw we should make this explicit in the spec, but it can be
guessed from:
Upon reset, a device MUST initialize all coalescing parameters to 0.
)
