First time I saw you are so humorous. :)

One reason is back-compatibility. 
Another reason is not all NIC driver support all the combined modes, only limited sets
driver supported. Under this condition, it's better to use the combination definition 
(VMDQ_DCB, DCB_RSS, etc) to let driver check whether it supports.

I listed all the code reviewers out to reduce their workload to reply the email,
not mean to make it easier to be applied.
