I've been accumulating patches into my debloat branch today.[1]

Already in there are:
My ath9k patch (mildly revised)
An e1000e patch for ethtool on my laptop
ar71xx patches reducing dma tx queue size
Kirkwood ethernet patches
Nathan's original iwl patch
linville's eBDP2 proposal

And I wouldn't mind accumulating more.

In particular I'm looking for the most current version of the choke
scheduler in the hope to play with both it and SFB.  I've already
patched up tc for SFB, [3], it looks like patching tc for choke would
also be easy...

If there are any other bufferbloat related patches I should be aware of 
please let me know. I seem to remember another scheduler being
discussed, among other things, and if anyone has more knobs they can
expose to userspace, let me know.

1: Builds take a long time, and I have 6 platforms on 3 different cpu
types to test, so it sort of makes sense to me to try and get more
pieces marching together. I may regret this.

I knew trying to pull stuff together from wireless-testing and other
trees was going to be painful... Will cherry pick.

Are there patches to tc for choke yet?
