This adds size to struct netdev_rx_queue and requires checks on whether
both are set. There can be thousands of these structs at any one time so
if we don't need to add size unnecessarily then that would be best.

We can disambiguate by comparing &mp_ops and then cast the void ptr to
our impl specific objects.

What do you not like about this approach?
