status seems unused?

Strange hoist, but I can't tell from the patch if this is necessary.
Assume it is.

I know skb_vnet_hdr() does it, but I generally dislike inline in C
files; gcc is generally smart enough these days, and inline suppresses
unused function warnings.

I guess these mappings have to work even when we're switching from mq to
single queue mode; otherwise we could simplify them using a 'bool mq'
flag.

(BTW, VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_STEERING_RX_FOLLOWS_TX etc not defined anywhere?)

Hmm, it's not clear that anything other than RX_FOLLOWS_TX will ever
make sense, so this is really just turning mq on and off.

Unfortunately, we can't turn feature bits on and off after startup, so
if we want this level of control (and I think we do), there does need to
be a mechanism.

Michael? I'd prefer this to be further simplfied, to just
disable/enable. We can extend it later, but for now the second
parameter is redundant, ie.:

struct virtio_net_ctrl_steering {
u8 mode; /* 0 == off, 1 == on */
} __attribute__((packed));

This assumes all vqs are the same size. I think this should probably
check: for mq mode, use the first vq, otherewise use the 0th.

For bonus points, check this assertion at probe time.

What's the allergy to odd numbers? Why the reserved queue?

We should be using has_cvq here...

I think you still want this under CONFIG_PM, right? Doesn't seem used
elsewhere.

Cheers,
Rusty.
