This change allows igb to make use of the in-kernel Toeplitz hashing so
that RX and TX hash queues can be matched up.

Adding a NETIF_F_TX_TOEPLITZ flag that skb_tx_hash() keys off of would
be a lot simpler.

We want less overriding of ->ndo_select_queue(), not more, and this case
is definitely gratuitous.

Thats probably true.  I hadn't put much thought into it at the time.

I kind of figured that was the approach was flawed.  As I said in the
cover page, this is a somewhat hastily thrown together set of patches
to demonstrate a proof of concept.  To me this appeared to be the
quickest way to come up with the means to alter the queue selection.
The main piece I am interested in is any input on the first patch that
added the Toeplitz hash functionality.  Specifically would a 16 bit
key/hash work for queue selection or would there be cases where we
need a 32 bit key/hash result?

Thanks,

Alex

Currently for TX 16-bit ought to be enough.
