In general, I figured out the magic dance that is required to enable
multiqueue support for em(4).  Jeffery's comment about disabling MSI-X
was what I was looking for.

I've added a review to enable things as a kernel compile option here:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1994

If the EM_MULTIQUEUE option is enabled, MSI-X defaults to off.  This
is for testing and needs to be resolved.  Perfect for current.
EM_MULTIQUEUE is off by default.

I've also added missing tuneables to the man page in this review.  So,
this is a cleanup to being a dev push from my side. Expect more to
come in this space.
