I understand that for multi-queue hardware, RX queue 0 is default off,
but perhaps it is safer to only enable RX queue 0,
even if you have more than one RX queue.
(Only until you have implemented actual support for multi-queues
in the driver.)

But if you know that it's safe to enable all RX queues even if the
driver only uses RX queue 0, then perhaps it doesn't matter.
