Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH v8 0/2] Series short description

Changed from v7, Ben Hutchings wants to actively manage queues
from the ndo_setup_tc() routine. Presumably to change the number
of tx queues creating n queues per traffic class. I agreed so
this version updates the patch to work correctly in this case.

Previously I was calling ndo_setup_tc from netif_set_num_tx_queues(),
to verify the queue offset/count but this would break any
queue management so this is removed. Now the mappings are
invalidated if the mapping requires it and it is expected
that the netdevice configured a valid mapping so calling
back into the driver is not needed. Validation is still
required in the case of a netdevice that does not
implement ndo_setup_tc() or to recover in cases where
ndo_open is adjusting number of queues do to resource
constraints.

Finally added some documentation to netdevice.h regarding
the new ops routine.
