I guess the mlx4 Ethernet driver has it too and it uses same ideas.

It seems that other drivers implement multi queuing in the send flow, 
where you come and suggest to implement it in the receive flow. What's 
the architectural conception behind this?

What problem your patches come to solve? and maybe you can comment why 
you think there's no other implementation? is it since other Ethernet HW 
vendors don't support multiple receive queues or can not generate 
interrupts to multiple interrupt vectors through MSI-X as the connectx does?

Or.
