[PATCH] NET: [UPDATED] Multiqueue network device support implementation.

Peter P Waskiewicz Jr
2007-04-10T00:16:46Z

From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com>

Update: Fixed a typecast in free_netdev() for the egress_subqueue list.

Added an API and associated supporting routines for multiqueue network devices.
This allows network devices supporting multiple TX queues to configure each
queue within the netdevice and manage each queue independantly. Changes to the
PRIO Qdisc also allow a user to map multiple flows to individual TX queues,
taking advantage of each queue on the device.
