We've already established that the NIC can't do a complete job in all
important cases, that's why we've integrated the RPS/RFS patches in
the first place.
And we don't want it to, because the decision mechanisms for steering
that we using now are starting to get into the stateful territory and
that's verbotton for NIC offload as far as we're concerned.
