So you want to use only 5 queues per VF when TNS is enabled, is it ??
There are 4096 RSS indices in total, for each VF you can use max 32.
I guess you wanted to set no of hash bits to 5 instead of table size.

Didn't get why you moved this structure to the end of file.
Looks like an unnecessary modification.

So what if driver is built-in instead of module, I can't use TNS is it ?

Why 129 ??
RBDR minimum size is 8K buffers, why you want to assert BP when still
~4K buffers
are available. Isn't 4K a huge number to start asserting backpressure ?
