FWIW, enabling polling on 6.1-RELEASE with fxp
interfaces resulted in input errors, visible through
"netstat -w1 -Ifxp0". Moreover, today I had to restart
the interface (down-up) after it hanged somehow.
We've got hz=500 on this box. Once I disabled
polling the errors disappeared altogether and
performance rose considerably.
