Description Artyom Davidov 2021-10-07 12:41:02 UTC 
Hello!
Due to the vmx(4) driver conversion to an iflib framework in r343291 the current manual page for the vmx(4) driver become outdated.
It will be great if it will be updated to reflect the current state of things.
It will be also great if it will include information from the https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18761 about the performance impact of the tx_abdicate sysctl setting.
I guess that the information from the https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237166 should also be included somehow to show the proper way of setting the non-default values for tx/rx descriptors. 
It should be also noted that since r355889 there is no need to disable MSI-X blacklist to make MSI-X work with vmx(4) driver.
