- populate_hash - for now, not used. eBPF RSS doesn't support hash reporting.

- default_queue - the queue index that used for packet that shouldn't be hashed. For some packets, the hash can't be calculated(g.e ARP).
Functions:
-- `ebpf_rss_init()` - sets ctx to NULL, which indicates that EBPFRSSContext is not loaded.
-- `ebpf_rss_load()` - creates 3 maps and loads eBPF program from the rss.bpf.skeleton.h. Returns 'true' on success. After that, program_fd can be used to set steering for TAP.
-- `ebpf_rss_set_all()` - sets values for eBPF maps. `indirections_table` length is in EBPFRSSConfig. `toeplitz_key` is VIRTIO_NET_RSS_MAX_KEY_SIZE aka 40 bytes array.
-- `ebpf_rss_unload()` - close all file descriptors and set ctx to NULL.

In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). To format a literal (generally rendered as fixed-width font), double-backticks are required. ebpf_rss.rst gets this wrong in a few places; correct them.
