    ixgbe: Preserve the full VF RSS domain in the shared RETA
    
    The 82599 and X540 share the global RSS redirection table between the
    PF and its VFs.  Programming that table from the PF queue count
    prevents a VF from using queue indices absent from the PF layout.  A
    one-queue PF consequently directs every flow for a two- or four-queue
    VF to queue zero.
    
    Program at least four queue indices while SR-IOV is active.  Each pool
    PSRTYPE.RQPL field masks the shared table to the queue subset available
    to that function, so the PF can continue using fewer queues.
