Subject: [stable] ixgbe: Fix return of invalid txq

Please consider commit fdd3d631cddad20ad9d3e1eb7dbf26825a8a121f for 
inclusion in 2.6.32.y (it is already in 2.6.33.y)

Here is the commit message, it fixes a panic on machines with a larger 
number of cpus than ixgbe has tx queues (64).

    ixgbe: Fix return of invalid txq

    a developer had complained of getting lots of warnings:

    "eth16 selects TX queue 98, but real number of TX queues is 64"
    
	http://www.mail-archive.com/e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02200.html

    As there was no follow up on that bug, I am submitting this
    patch assuming that the other return points will not return
    invalid txq's, and also that this fixes the bug (not tested).
