    Avoid touching RX QP RSS context when loading with only
    one RX ring, to allow optimized A0 RX steering.
    
    Enable by:
    - loading mlx4_core with module param: log_num_mgm_entry_size = -6.
    - then: ethtool -L <interface> rx 1
    
    Performance tests:
    Tested on ConnectX3Pro, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
