[Click] Click and e1000e

[Adam Greenhalgh]

Hi,

I've been playing with the ixgbe driver, I have reception for a single
queue working but am currently trying to get multiqueue support
working.

Does any one have any thoughts on how click should handle NICs which
support multi queuing ? Our current thinking is that each queue needs
a separate click "poll" element to enable multithreading to work.
However this breaks the current poll element device ownership model.
