Hello,
I'm adding Wei Liu who did the rework of the netfront driver and added
multiqueue to it.

I'm worried it might have something to do with the "feature-sg" node that's
exported on the backend path. It seems like FreeBSD correctly acknowledges
it, but there might be some bugs there.
Stephen, can you paste the output of running `xenstore-ls -fp` on the Dom0
when the FreeBSD DomU has booted? Could you also paste the kernel dmesg of
the FreeBSD guest?
What seems even more strange is the fact that it works during installs but
not after, the kernel is exactly the same for installers, so I'm puzzled.
Roger.
