Will abandon the patch and close the issue .

I'm not sure if this is the right solution, the case we may have is: apply a 
RSS for a specific pattern for all enabled queues, so an empty queue configure 
that implicit for all enabled queues could still be acceptable. Can you share 
what kind of expected failure you are looking for?
