[Samba] Multichannel and RSS Not Detected

[Chris Dos]

I have logging level set to 7 and I see in the log that it says "doing
parameter server multi channel support = yes".  But it does not work on the
internal interface which is an intel 10Gig NIC using the ixgbe driver.

Dmesg shows multiqueue is enabled:

Is there a debug level in Samba that will show why multi channel and RSS is
not working on a interface?
