I really tripped on the name "decoders_per_cpu", to a point where I had to
review the current code before looking at this patch. I find the "_per_cpu"
part especially puzzling. In the end the variable determines the amount of
decoders to instantiate for a specific queue...
Couldn't it be just "decoders"? Or maybe it just needs a little comment to
disambiguate things?
Thanks,
Mathieu
