Updated: Fixed allocation of subqueues in alloc_netdev_mq() to
allocate all subqueues, not num - 1.
Added checks for netif_subqueue_stopped() to netpoll,
pktgen, and software device dev_queue_xmit(). This will ensure
external events to these subsystems will be handled correctly if
a subqueue is shut down.
Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack. Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them
at the netdev level if they choose to do so.
Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.

skb->iif and queue_mapping should probably go somewhere near
the other shaping stuff and unsigned int seems to be a better
choice for egress_subqueue_count, but I can take care of that
when this patch is in Dave's tree.
