    alc(4): disable MSI-X by default on Killer cards

    Several users with alc(4)-based "Killer" Ethernet cards have reported
    issues with this driver not passing traffic, which are solved by
    disabling MSI-X using the provided tunable.

    To work around this issue, disable MSI-X by default on this card.

    This is done by having msix_disable default to 2, which means
    "auto-detect".  The user can still override this to either 0 or 1 as
    desired.

    Since these are slow (1Gbps) Ethernet ICs used in low-end systems, it's
    unlikely this will cause any practical performance issues; on the other
    hand, the card not working by default likely causes issues for many new
    FreeBSD users who find their network port doesn't work and have no idea
    why.
