Description

Under System/Advanced/Networking there is an option to deactivate ALTQ for Microsoft Hyper-V hn vNICs. It would be good to have this as well for VTNET (VirtIO Networking) vNICs, to allow the use of Multiqueue.

This used to be impossible, as ALTQ support was a Compiletime option, that deactivated Multiqueue support. I created a pull request which was merged into FreeBSD yesterday, which now allows deactivating ALTQ, using the loader tunable hw.vtnet.altq_disable, and instead allowing Multiqueue in the VTNET driver.

That PR depends on an upstream FreeBSD source change which isn't in our tree yet, so it has to wait until after the next upstream src sync.
