I imagine it would be good if these were tunable. From reading the
sysctl output on the cards (hw.mlxenNUM.stat.{rx|tx}_ringNUM), tx_ring0
and 1 are heavily used, sometimes 4, but 2 and 3 are empty. rx_ring0 and
1 are both heavily used.

I have not found a way to tune it, either via sysctl or loader.conf.

Thanks!
