My $.02 is that receive packet steering RPS should be done generically at
receive layer. Then all the CPU, mapping and configuration issues can be
done once, not just for IFB, Bridge, VLAN, ... The number of users of IFB
is small, and setup is complex. Steering packets in IFB is optimizing only
a rarely used corner.
Layered link services like IFB need to be multi-threaded lockless to maintain
the advantages of multi-queue and RPS.
