According to 7.1.11, this device does indeed have 2 queues for stuff and
or things.  So, basic RSS would be possible in something like an Atom box.

I note that the em(4) driver intentionally disables this on
initialization.  I'm up for some science on my new shiny, soon to be
router box. Any reason not to default to 1 queue and allow loader.conf
to raise it to 2?
