Here is a patch to make this possible
I guess a similar thing could be done for tx queues.
boot tested, but please double check.
Thanks
[PATCH net-next-2.6] rps: allocate rx queues in register_netdevice()
Instead of having two places were we allocate dev->_rx, introduce
netif_alloc_rx_queues() helper and call it only from
register_netdevice(), not from alloc_netdev_mq()
Goal is to let drivers change dev->num_rx_queues after allocating netdev
and before registering it.
This also removes a lot of ifdefs in net/core/dev.c
