When running in a kdump kernel, make sure to use only a single ethernet queue even if a num_queues option in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf would specify otherwise. This saves memory, which tends to be scarce in kdump. This saves about 40 MB in the kdump environment on a setup with num_queues=8 in the config file.
