it is currently that --queue-cpu-fanout *requires* --queue-balance, as
the CPU fanout works on top of the balanced queues.

Or possibly I miss your point.

Sorry for lacking that.

I've respinned the 3/3 patch to include the man page update as well.
I was unsure about using bold font for referencing the --queue-balance
parameter.  Checking the man pages of other extensions it seems as if
it is done quite differently throughout.

Patch is attached to this email.

Forget it, your patch was just fine, sorry.

Thanks!

I have pushed this to the -next branch of iptables. Will merge by when
3.10-rc1 is released.
