Thanks, I understand that. I see in the ixgbe's code, that
dev_info.max_rx_queues is initialized from the hw->mac.max_rx_queues
value
dev_info->max_rx_queues = (uint16_t)hw->mac.max_rx_queues;
dev_info->max_tx_queues = (uint16_t)hw->mac.max_tx_queues;
but I can't figure out how this hw->mac is produced. Is it mapped to
the memory region controlled by the network adapter directly?
