MFC r313318:
cxgbe(4): Allow tunables that control the number of queues to be set to '-n' to tell the driver to create _up to_ 'n' queues if enough cores are available. For example, setting hw.cxgbe.nrxq10g="-32" will result in 16 queues if the system has 16 cores, 32 if it has 32. There is no change in the default number of queues of any type.
