Agreed, there is useful attribute-independent functionality already
built around netdev_rx_queue - e.g., dynamically resizing the rx queue
kobjs as the number of RX queues enabled for the netdev is changed. While
the current attributes happen to be used only by RPS, AFAICT it seems
RPS should not own netdev_rx_queue but rather should own the RPS-specific
fields themselves within netdev_rx_queue.

If there are no objections, it seems like I could modify
netdev_rx_queue and related functionality so that their existence does
not depend on CONFIG_RPS, and instead just have CONFIG_RPS control
whether or not the RPS-specific attributes/fields are present.

Best,

Mike
