I haven't done it myself (it IS on my agenda to try in my copious spare time), but I hear tell you can use it to make virtualbox and KVM behave like VMWare VCenter using virtual
interfaces on guest VMs
I also know of commercial product that has (or had, I haven't looked lately) it baked in (no, I'm not at liberty to mention which one).

Well, the followon question was, do people use the sfq and/or fq_codel
related code in it?

In OpenStack deployments, "ML2+OVS" is a popular backend for the
"Neutron" networking service - maybe the most popular for mid-size
installations.
We and many others use it. However I haven't heard of anyone using sfq
or fq_codel (or any other fancy qdisc) in this context.
