 device is still operational.  netdev->queue_lock is still used when the device
 comes online or when it's completely shut down (unregister_netdev(), etc.).
 
-Finally, the base driver should indicate that it is a multiqueue device.  The
-feature flag NETIF_F_MULTI_QUEUE should be added to the netdev->features
-bitmap on device initialization.  Below is an example from e1000:
-
-#ifdef CONFIG_E1000_MQ
