Thanks Ben & Dave. A question though - which of the following
is preferable for the macvtap driver:

1. Calculate flow and use that to find a queue; or
2. First check if skb_rx_queue_recorded is true and if so use
    that; otherwise calculate the flow as in #1.

I guess #1 is better, since packets for a single flow will go to the
same queue even if they arrive on different rxqs of a mq driver.
But I want to make sure.

#2 is right.  Just as macvtap should provide a stable flow to RX-queue
mapping, so should the drivers it interfaces with.
