This seems a bit tricky. Can we just move the tap out of the
array? the only reason we have the array is for fast
lookup on xmit.
What's the reason to keep disabled queues there?

To be able to track all queues for cleanups, all we need is
a linked list of all queues (enabled and disabled).

Which indices? We only care about numvtaps right?
So let's just say so.

Why is this wmb and not smp_wmb()?

Hmm this looks questionable. The code near rmb first
checks numvtaps then dereferences the queue.
So it might see a new queue but old value of numvtaps.

Here it's one pointer, right?

Same issue as above, looks even more worrying
as queue is freed here.

Except this doesn't seem to handle case where taps are going away ...
