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

From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@...el.com>

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.
