Willem, WDYT? Is there a reason to keep the core key small?
Or deprecate netdev_rss_key_fill()?  
What do you mean by deprecating it ?

One of the ideas was to make sure multiple NIC would share the same key,
for some bonding setups.

commit 960fb622f85180f36d3aff82af53e2be3db2f888    net: provide a per
host RSS key generic infrastructure
Just wanted to put that option on the table, it wasn't clear to me what
the exact use case for the sysfs file was. Good to know that someone
cares :) thanks for the reference!
