The loop to generate an indirection table from a list of weights never
advances by more than one weight at a time.  Thus, if there is a 0
in the list (except at the end) the corresponding RX ring will be
assigned 1 hash bucket rather than 0.  Change 'if' to 'while'.

Please include this in 2.6.35 if you haven't finalised it yet.

Ben.
