  There should be no problems when using ALTQ and DEVICE_POLLING
together -- DEVICE_POLLING works at the driver's level in the interrupt
routines and ALTQ works a level higher, in the network queueing
management; theoretically they should not interact.

  I haven't tried it yet, though I might pretty soon - I have one of the
cards that can make use of DEVICE_POLLING (that includes the 'dc',
'fxp' and 'sis' devices). See /sys/i386/conf/LINT for more info.
