Oh yes now I remember it's about 5 months. I had set this to max_queues = 1 (in
/boot/loader.conf) to test with pkt-gen, because with max_queues = 8 doens't
work.

Output of pkt-gen with hw.ixl.max_queues=1:

# pkt-gen -i ixl0 -f tx

Now with hw.ixl.max_queues=8:

# pkt-gen -i ixl0 -f tx

Then with max_queues=8 I have errors in my /var/log/messages:

I also test this in my netmap application and with these tests I think that
when a application try to write in txring > 0 like TX1, TX2 or so this error
occurs
