By the way, it would certainly make sense for the ethernet driver to use
a number of queues that matches num_online_cpus() at the time the
interface is brought up. Since we can't change the # of MSI-X vectors
very easily I think we need to allow for the possible CPUs, but bouncing
a net interface seems lighter weight to me.
Although perhaps reloading a driver on CPU hotplug is OK too?
