> Add txqs_max_vec parameter to configure the maximum number of Tx

Missing break?

What about all the VFs? They don't have a default value, will it lead the vec
code not to be used for VFs at all?
I think VFs decision should be like the PF. If the Arch is ARMv8 then 8
otherwise 4.
Pay attention PCI_DEVICE_ID_MELLANOX_CONNECTX5BFVF is missing, and its default
value should be like above phrase, because the VF port is not on the SoC rather
on the host side.
