HWS has two types of APIs: - Native: fastest and slimmest, async API. The user of this API is required to manage rule handles memory, and to poll for completion for each rule. - BWC: backward compatible API, similar semantics to SWS API. This layer is implemented above native API and it does all the work for the user, so that it is easy to switch between SWS and HWS. Right now the existing users of HWS require only BWC API. Therefore, in order to not waste resources, this patch disables send queues allocation for native API. If in the future support for faster HWS rule insertion will be required (such as for Connection Tracking), native queues can be enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
