So when you load if_cxgbe you'll get only the cxl interfaces. If you want netmap access to the ports you'll be able to kldload cxgbe_netmap (or something like that) which will create the ncxl ports. These ncxl ports _will_ operate like normal ifnets hooked to the kernel stack if netmap isn't enabled on them. And the cxgbe_netmap driver will attach to PCIe PFs 0-3 so it won't take up resources (interrupt vectors, etc.) from PF4, which is what the main if_cxgbe attaches to. You'll certainly be able to up/down/whatever all the interfaces independent of each other. All this will get done in time for FreeBSD 11.
