bcm53xx's script actually uses network. at globals[0].packet_steering on
its own. It's on purpose as it's exactly what that script does - it
steers packets across CPUs. It makes it also compatible with existing
UIs which allow setting packet_steering.

It's a matter of target specific steering which gives better results
than the generic one. I also don't think we can write a global script
that will handle perfectly all targets. That is too device specific.
