Not quite... You'll have to deal with multiple Rx filters, not just the
current one-filter-for-all model present in today's NICs. Pools of
queues will have separate configured characteristics. The "steer"
portion you mention is a bottleneck that wants to be eliminated.
It runs in hardware at wire speed, what's the issue? :-)
Configuration is the issue.
Where shall we put the configuration machinery, to support sub-queues?
Shall we duplicate the existing configuration code for sub-queues?
What will ifconfig/ip usage look like?
How will it differ from configuring full net_devices, if you are
assigning the same types of parameters? Why?
