I think there is no need to worry.  The default is that messages are
ordered.

Normally, applications should/would not even know there is a "knob" to
add more I/O threads.  Only if one is trying to push beyond 20-25 Gbps
through a single TCP transport is this even worth considering.  IMO,
if this high level of performance is truly required one is doing
something sophisticated enough to either deal with out-of-order or to
find another way to get multiple TCP transport streams while keeping
order (eg, multiple processes).
