Problem with this is it doesn't address mis-aligned num_rx_queues.  For example 
with the bonding driver defaulting to 16 queues now. We could end up with a base 
driver with 16+ queues and a bond with 16.  Then we have the same issue again.

  eth0  -------> bond / bridge ---------> vlan.id
(nbrxq=64)      (nbrxq=16)              (nbrxq=X)

Agreed thanks!

Looks good to me.

The bonding driver is already multiq per Andy Gospodarek's patch commit bb1d912, 
but unless the bond and bridge devices use the max num_rx_queues of there 
underlying devices this could still go wrong.

The bonding driver would possibly need to increase num_rx_queues and 
num_tx_queues when a device is enslaved or be set to some maximum at init for 
this to work right.

Prefer Eric's patch see first comment.
