Explain why.

Is there a use case for needing this to be configurable?

Why is this necessary? Shouldn't providing a custom .ndo_select_queue() be
sufficient to ensure that skb_get_queue_mapping() returns the same thing?

And if this goes away, it's just a matter of a function pointer, so if it does
need to be configurable it could be a runtime option.
