Maybe I'm missing something, but I currently cannot find where this is
being filled out for ingress path? Egress, ok, this gets filled out
somewhere in protocol layers or elsewhere and is being locally pushed
back through dev_queue_xmit_nit(), but I think main use case is ingress
through packet fanout. In driver layer I can find skb->rxhash filled out
which would then be PACKET_FANOUT_HASH.
(Otherwise patch looks good.)
