Subject: [PATCH 1/4]: net: Allow RX queue selection to seed TX queue
 hashing.


The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX
pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by
the hardware.

If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select
the outgoing TX queue.

This helps get more consistent load balancing on router
and firewall loads.
