Yep, I had noticed.  Was wondering how the removal of the old
 [sg]et_rxfh_context functions would interact with my new API,
 which has three ops (create/modify/delete) and thus can't
 really be wedged into the [sg]et_rxfh() like that.
Tbh I'd rather move in the direction of using the new API (and
 associated state-in-core) for everything, even context 0, so
 that the behaviour is consistent between default and custom
 contexts for NICs that support the latter.  Not 100% sure how
 exactly that would work in practice yet though; drivers are
 currently responsible for populating ctx 0 (indir, key, etc)
 at probe time so how do you read that state into the core?

And I promise v5 of the rework is coming eventually, bosses
 just keep prioritising everything but this :(
