Not really, the code above is never executed (in my machines). This is
because `vi->has_rss` and `vi->has_rss_hash_report` are both unset.

Looking further, vdev does not have the VIRTIO_NET_F_RSS and
VIRTIO_NET_F_HASH_REPORT features.

Also, when I run `ethtool -x`, I got:

	# ethtool  -x eth0
	RX flow hash indirection table for eth0 with 1 RX ring(s):
	Operation not supported
	RSS hash key:
	Operation not supported
	RSS hash function:
	    toeplitz: on
	    xor: off
	    crc32: off
