It does show whether interface supports RSS or RDMA in the channel
list for every session
(and whether that interface is 'CONNECTED' for that session).  See
below example from his
sample /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData output (although this part did not
change with his patch)

4) Speed: 1000000000 bps
Capabilities: rss
IPv4: 10.229.158.38
[CONNECTED]
