Re: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 3/3] ixgbe: Do not allocate too many netdev txqueues

Instead of allocating 128 struct netdev_queue per device, use the
minimum value between 128 and the number of possible txq's, to
reduce ram usage and "tc -s -d class shod dev .." output.

This patch fixes Eric Dumazet's patch to set the TX queues to
the correct minimum.

Thanks Jeff, but what is the reason for limiting to MAX_TX_QUEUES ?
Is it a hardware issue ?
