Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH] ixgbe: Make queue pairs on single MSI-X
	interrupts

From: PJ Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>

This patch pairs similar-numbered Rx and Tx queues onto a single
MSI-X vector.  For example, Tx queue 0 and Rx queue 0's interrupt
with be ethX-RxTx-0.  This allows for more efficient cleanup, since
fewer interrupts will be firing during device operation.  It also
helps with a cleaner CPU affinity for IRQ affinity.
