Thanks for taking the time to detail your thoughts - the examples certainly help to get a better picture of the whole.

[HvH] All worker cores can be linked to all stages - we do a lookup of what stage the work is based on the event->queue_id.

[HvH] The sw case is the same - all cores can map to all stages, the lookup for stage of work is the queue_id.

[HvH] In the case of software eventdev ev.queue_id is used instead of ev.sub_event_type - but this is the same lookup operation as mentioned above. I don't see a fundamental difference between these approaches?
