Hi Bruce,
After checking, the same error is not repeated anywhere else except on "igb" and "em" .
However, I noticed that there is only one txq available for the "em" device, and according 
to the comments in the code, This design may be intentional, as port offloading and queue 
offloading are practically the same in the case of only one txq.
