 The problem was actually in the configuration of the igb driver.
 Polling works only with hw.igb.num_queues=1 - and this is also described
 in code comments of if_igb.c:
 
  *  Legacy polling routine : if using this code you MUST be sure that
  *  multiqueue is not defined, ie, set igb_num_queues to 1.
 
 This should be:
 a) added to the manpage
 b) the driver should not attempt polling if hw.igb.num_queues > 1
