Thanks for all the work on the refactor; sorry for the nit-picking
on the queue counts. I just thought of it because in my test for
busy poll stuff, netdevsim uses 1 queue.

Having tests like this factored nicely really helps when people
(like me) go to try to write a test for the first time and have a
good example like this to follow :)
