We need to pay off some technical debt we accrued before we merge more
queue ops implementations. Specifically the locking needs to move from
under rtnl. Sorry, this is not going in for 6.14.  

What technical debt accrued ? I haven't seen any changes in queue API since
bnxt and gve got merged, what changed since then ?

mlx5 doesn't require rtnl if this is because of the assert, I can remove
it. I don't understand what this series is being deferred for, please
elaborate, what do I need to do to get it accepted ?

Remove the dependency on rtnl_lock _in the core kernel_.
