This is absolutely rediculious.

There is no reason in the world to restrict multiqueue to only 64-bit
systems.

If there is a memory allocation issue, fix that!  Is it vmalloc() space
usage?

You don't even describe what the hell the problem is, so nobody can
figure out _WHY_ you're making this change.  That's so incredibly
frustrating because it makes it impossible for anyone to sanely
evaluate the patch.

The more I read of this patch series, the more I am incredibly
disappointed with the poor quality of these changes.

This is the worst patch series submitted by Broadcom engieers,
ever!
