This is why the netdev FAQ says:

  Netdev discourages patches which perform simple clean-ups, which are
  not in the context of other work.

  ...

  This is because it is felt that the churn that such changes produce
  comes at a greater cost than the value of such clean-ups.

Does changing alloc_netdev_mq() to alloc_netdev_mqs() bring enough
gain to offset the work needed to find the new bugs added at the same
time?

I know i would prefer looking at patches adding new drivers, new
infrastructure, new features, than broken cleanups for very old
drivers with very few users.
