Actually this is the correct settings (there is still a lot of old
days junk in the code)

+#define SEQ_TO_QUEUE(s)        (((s) >> 8) & 0x1f)
+#define QUEUE_TO_SEQ(q)        (((q) & 0x1f) << 8)
+#define SEQ_TO_INDEX(s)        ((s) & 0xff)
+#define INDEX_TO_SEQ(i)        ((i) & 0xff)

Yet this is not it an issue first of all it works pretty well I never
hit this one if not under load.
' Error wrong command queue 43 command id ___0x6B___'  6b looks more
like slub poison -- accessing already freed skb

Thanks
