This looks reasonable to me.  I've been trying to find time to add something like igb has, with a tiny Tx lookup table that maps CPUs into a smaller set of Tx queues, but I like this simple approach to fix the current bug.

We'll want to pull this in for a quick set of regression tests, but again I think this will work well.

Thanks Krishna,
