This is great, because on a dual socket system with an 18 core Haswell and HT
enabled you could be looking for 72 tx queues.

Probably no point in allocing here if you have been returned an error from
dpdk_eth_dev_init(). You could just skip to the mutex_unlocking

I don’t think the netdev_dpdk_set_multiq() is needed for dpdkr as at
present you can't change the number of q's for dpdkr. It doesn't do
any harm either. Is there a reason you put it in e.g. future proofing?
