Log:
mxge's tunable hw.mxge.rss_hash_type cannot be set from the
loader, because it uses a reserved suffix (_type). Fix
this by removing the "_" and renaming the tunable to
hw.mxge.rss_hashtype. The old (rss_hash_type) tunable is
still fetched, in case people load the driver via scripts.
When both are present in the kernel environment,
the new value (hw.mxge.rss_hashtype) overrides the old
value.

When using multiple slices, the NIC hashes traffic to different slices

Using multiple slices requires that your motherboard and Myri10GE NIC
both be capable of MSI-X.
Older Myri10GE NICs can be field upgraded to add
MSI-X using the "10G NIC Tool Kit" for FreeBSD which is available from

This value determines how incoming traffic is steered to different
slices.
This tunable is ignored when using just a single slice.
