Subject: [CORE] Stack changes to add multiqueue hardware support API

This is an slightly changed version of Peter's patch.
Changes are:

- introduce NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE config option instead of
  NET_SCH_MULTIQUEUE. Schedulers build in multiqueue support
  automatically when that option is selected.

- make netif_*_subqueue functions NOPs for the
  !NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE case

- move skb->iif and skb->queue_mapping next to the other
  packet scheduling related members

- fix comment: the two byte hole in struct sk_buff is
  on both 32 and 64 bit
