Let me make sure I understand the suggestion above. We want to disable
BQL completely for devices that has dev->features & NETIF_F_LLTX or
dev->priv_flags & IFF_NO_QUEUE, right?
Maybe we can add a ->enabled field in struct dql, and set it according
to the features above. Then we can created the sysfs and process the dql
operations based on that field. This should avoid some unnecessary calls
also, if we are not display sysfs.
Here is a very simple PoC to represent what I had in mind. Am I in the
right direction?
