Subject: [RFC net-next (v2) 01/14] net-next: Add
 netif_get_num_default_rss_queues

Most multi-queue networking driver consider the number of online cpus when
configuring RSS queues. 
This patch adds a wrapper to the number of cpus, setting an upper limit on the
number of cpus a driver should consider (by default) when allocating resources
for his queues.
