Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v5 0/3] Introduce n-tuple ethtool support



Nice. Next step would be to control the RSS-traffic. Doing this we 
can easily get total separation between "control" and "data" plane.
We did a dirty hack to separate out bgp/ssh to one queue/cpu. 
I think just a RSS_mask would be a good start - each bit controlling 
if queue should receive RSS traffic or not.

Cheers
