You say "pin Rx queue to one CPU" like that's actually possible to do
reliably :)

Part of me feels like checking the dev pointer would be good enough.
It may make sense to create more per CPU pools for particular devices
further down, but creating more pools without no dev / DMA mapping
makes no sense, right?

Dunno if looking at dev is not too hacky, tho, flags are cheap.
