Thanks for taking time and answering.

Totally agree. Looking at the code, igb does setup everything correctly
to get RSS hash in flowid when num_queues > 1. I'm not sure and I've not
checked what other chipsets do but I350 looks fine. If needed I am okay
to guard this with mac_type check.

Jack/Eric: Let me know what you guys think.

Cheers,
