This does not look accurate.
Bits 41 and 42 are used by the device specific type and not generic queue related mechanism.
In this case it is used by the net device.

So right documentation should be,

0 to 23, 41, 42 and 50 to 127 Feature bits for the specific device type

24 to 40 Feature bits reserved for extensions to the queue and feature negotiation mechanisms

43 to 49, and 128 and above Feature bits reserved for future extensions.
