ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirection
Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.
