If you want you can talk with Pascal Dornier who makes the APU boards.

He responds to email and to the PC Engines forums.

He's open to discuss chocies. The newest APU variant is coming with a
2.5Gbps Intel chip since the 1Gbps part is unavailable. The igc driver
for this chip already has multiqueue support. If someone did multiqueue
on the em driver, that would complete the circle.
