Issue -

Receive side scaling (RSS) for more than 16 queues not working in "ixl" driver.

Version:
The FreeBSD driver version is 1.4.1 

Description:

My system has 20 CPU cores. The packet-processing application uses NIC RSS
feature to filter packets to dedicated receive queues for each core.

NIC is able to do RSS properly for Queue-0 to Queue-15, and packets reach the
right receive queues. 

But not a single packet reach Queue-16/17/18/19. 

Instead Packets for Queue-16/17/18/18 reach Queue-0/1/2/3 

Possibly some RSS specific register settings missing in the drivers that
restricts NIC from using more than 16 receive queues

Linux driver doesn't seem to exhibit this behavior.
