It'd be better to keep the configuration close to the existing RFS
config, no? Perhaps a new file under

  /sys/class/net/$dev/queues/rx-$id/

to enable the feature would be more appropriate?

Otherwise I'd call it something like NETIF_F_RFS_AUTO ?

Alex, any thoughts? IIRC Intel HW had a similar feature?

Hm, okay, it's just queue mapping, if device gets it wrong not the end
of the world (provided security boundaries are preserved).
