It is more correct to describe them as completion queue interrupts, they
serve both rx and tx workqueues.

One is for firmware memory requests notifications for UMA.
Two others are firmware command completion and async events (like PHY
module events or hw state notifications).

You did not demostrated what you mean by 'very high rate'.
20 req/sec does not count as 'high', and this is the highest I see
in your message.
