hiya,

How many queues does the ixgbe and igb hardware support?

The documentation reflects many more transmit and receive queues than
the 8 currently auto-configured.

For RSS configuration I'd like to expand it out to the 16 that I
_think_ the hardware supports, but I'd like some confirmation that the
documentation mostly reflects the reality out there and I wouldn't be
breaking things on other peoples obscure/onboard/laptop/etc intel
platforms.

Thanks!
