    ixgbe: Define FCoE and Flow director limits much sooner to allow for changes · d3cb9869

    Instead of adjusting the FCoE and Flow director limits based on the number
    of CPUs we can define them much sooner.  This allows the user to come
    through later and adjust them once we have updated the code to support the
    set_channels ethtool operation.
    
    I am still allowing for FCoE and RSS queues to be separated if the number
    queues is less than the number of CPUs.  This essentially treats the two
    groupings like they are two separate traffic classes.
    
    In addition I am changing the initialization to use the MAX_TX/RX_QUEUES
    defines instead of trying to compute the value as it will be possible in
    upcoming patches for the user to request the maximum number of queues.
    
    I have also updated things so that the upper limit on queues is exactly 63
    instead of allowing it to go up to 64.  The reason for this change is to
    address the fact thqt the driver only supports up to 63 queue vectors since
    the hardware supports 64 MSI-X vectors, but one must be reserved for "other"
    causes.
