Since we have multi-queue tx, and multi-napi, why does E1000 still
have extra fake network devices?


 static int __devinit e1000_alloc_queues(struct e1000_adapter *adapter)
{
...
       adapter->polling_netdev = kcalloc(adapter->num_rx_queues,
                                          sizeof(struct net_device),
                                          GFP_KERNEL);
