I see what you mean. On one hand, you use the num_rx_queues as if it can
get higher numbers and the code seems to be ready for that with all the
for loops in place, but on the other hand, it is hard coded to 1 at
ixgbevf_set_num_queues and it seems weird to add min function with
explicit '1'. Do you suggest to leave this driver alone hoping that if
in the future the '1' will change the author will remember to use the
default value?

Thanks,
Eilon
