    v2: Fixed up the bad typecasting pointed out by David...
    
    In the current design 8 TXQs are serviced by 1 EQ, while each RSS queue
    is serviced by a separate EQ. This is being changed as follows:
    
    - Upto 8 EQs will be used (based on the availabilty of msix vectors).
    Each EQ will handle 1 RSS and 1 TX ring. The default non-RSS RX queue and
    MCC queue are handled by the last EQ.
    
    - On cards which provide support, upto 8 RSS rings will be used, instead
    of the current limit of 4.
    
    The new design allows spreading the TX multi-queue completion processing
    across multiple CPUs unlike the previous design.
