I am working on a patch to revert to the old behavior and solve the Rx 
stall issue by scheduling the timer if any of the following
conditions are true:
  - unconsumed requests + new requests < NET_RX_SLOTS_MIN (old behavior)
  - skb allocations fail

Will send out the patch by next week after I can do some testing.

Thanks,
Vineeth
