My objection is that there is also the prospect of having multiple RSS contexts on a single device. I think we discussed the usefulness of that several years back at a netconf. And there is now hardware that supports it: at least the Solarflare SFC9100 controllers do, and I doubt they are unique in this. By grouping the key and hash together, with some reserved fields (which the setter should initially require to be equal to zero), it should be possible to fill in support for numbered RSS contexts later without yet another new structure and operations.
