Summary

On Medford, licenses are required to enable RX and event cut through and
to disable RX batching. To avoid the need for the driver to make decisions
based on the licensing state, the MC_CMD_INIT_EVQ has been extended to
allow us to leave the decision to the firmware. If the adapter is licensed
for low-latency use, the firmware will choose the optimal settings for
latency, otherwise it will use the best settings for throughput.

For Huntington we still need to choose the settings ourselves.
