This patchset is an updated version of previous multiqueue network device support patches. The general approach of introducing a new API for multiqueue network devices to register with the stack has remained. The changes include adding a round-robin qdisc, heavily based on sch_prio, which will allow queueing to hardware with no OS-enforced queuing policy. sch_prio still has the multiqueue code in it, but has a Kconfig option to compile it out of the qdisc. This allows people with hardware containing scheduling policies to use sch_rr (round-robin), and others without scheduling policies in hardware to continue using sch_prio if they wish to have some notion of scheduling priority.
The patches to iproute2 for tc will be sent separately, to support sch_rr. I'm soliciting feedback for a 2.6.23 submission.
