Ok, for the addition of a new algorithm that may be the case but
what about the existent algorithm stability issue? Who's going to
watch the implementation of __netdev_pick_tx() and make sure there
is no semantic change? I'm still of the opinion that the
implementation should be kept within netback so that we can
guarantee stability, even if it means duplication. Either that or we
need some guarantee that the semantic of __netdev_pick_tx() will
never change.

Please stop talking like this.

If the default changes it's probably to fix a bug or make things
better, you want no bugs to get fix if it breaks "stability"?
