Hello,

I hit problems about ixl driver's netmap support. I have no problems with
ixgbe.
The problem is tested with FreeBSD 12.2-p5 and FreeBSD 13.0-RC3.

ixl in netmap mode, it works with low throughput (about 2 Gbps) for 20-30
seconds. And then TX queue remains full. poll with POLLOUT and even
ioctl(fd, NIOCTXSYNC) does not work. So that nic stops working.

Same netmap software with ixgbe has no problems.

pciconf -lv output:
