Hi all
 On a recount 11-STABLE I see that the interaction with netisr and rss has 
changed. Forgive me if this is clumsy but I don’t quite get what changes were.

On 10-Stable when I have a solarflare or intel Ixgbe card I would get a kernel 
thread per rss queue per card and a netirs queue:bucket thread per cpu ( or 
tuned to a value I define < ncpus ) . However on recent 11-STABLE about when 
the RSS kernel option was imported or added; I now get one netisr queue:bucket 
for the whole system and no tuning effects how many threads are created.  

Second part I started looking into the kernel rss option and I wanted the 
better understand what it was doing ?  Enabling it and the associate protocol 
block ? Option gave me 64 queues and no clear way to tune them or constrain 
them to the numa domain of the card companies consuming them I could not find 
options_rss.h either .  So is there a commit anyone can direct me to to for 
more insight? Is there a write up on it somewhere? 

Thanks again .
