NAME
       alloc_etherdev_mq - Allocates and sets up an Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS
       struct net_device * alloc_etherdev_mq(int sizeof_priv, unsigned int queue_count);

ARGUMENTS
       sizeof_priv
	   Size of additional driver-private structure to be allocated for this Ethernet device

       queue_count
	   The number of queues this device has.

DESCRIPTION
       Fill in the fields of the device structure with Ethernet-generic values. Basically does everything except registering the device.
