Sorry I missed this important piece of information, it appears that netdev_queue (the TX equivalent of netdev_rx_queue) already has decoupled itself from CONFIG_XPS due to an attribute, queue_trans_timeout, that does not depend on XPS functionality. So it seems that something somewhat equivalent has already happened on the TX side.
