[ Upstream commit bb7858ba1102f82470a917e041fd23e6385c31be ]
Memory size is limited in the kdump kernel environment. Allocation of more msix-vectors (or queues) consumes few tens of MBs of memory, which might lead to the kdump kernel failure. This patch adds changes to limit the number of MSI-X vectors in kdump kernel to minimum required value (i.e., 2 per engine).
