This series makes several modifications to netif.h in anticipation of
implementing NDIS RSS support in the Windows frontend driver.

Patch #1 documents the (sad) reality of the netif_rx_request/response id
field, which has been long overdue.

Patch #2 adds a definition of the NETRXF_gso_prefix flag which has been
present in the Linux variant of the header for several years

Patch #3 adds documentation for how negotiation of a hash algortithm to
be used on the frontend receive side should be done.

Patch #4 adds a new netif_extra_info type for passing hash values between
backend and frontend (or vice versa).
