[Cake] Exposing the interval (rtt) parameter

[Cake] Exposing the interval (rtt) parameter

Afternoon (well it is for me)

I seem to remember a recent request to be able to specify the codel
interval parameter within cake.  I've just pushed a branch
'exposeinterval' to both sch_cake & tc-adv which I believe does this.

My coding is very much of the copy'n'paste'n'tweak level so this
definitely needs looking over by skilled & experienced eyes, however in
the spirit of collaboration it might be a start.

Another warning: Nothing has been tested; sch-cake compiles.  tc-adv
hasn't even been tested that far yet!  Hopefully this evening will
rectify that as I'll be able to give the kiss of life to my router if
needed :-)

Maybe useful, maybe not. push/pull/tweak/delete as seen fit

Okay, well *now* it compiles (hangs head in shame at silly typos) and
runs (router survived the night)  The tc user interface is horrible in
that it needs warnings if trying to set a silly value (and also needs a
suitable scaling factor supplied eg. 300ms rather than just 300) but
fundamentally this parameter does get passed from user space to kernel
space and cake does indeed use this as an interval value.  Excuse me
while I say that's a result :-)

One thing I cannot suss out at the moment is why tc isn't reporting the
passed 'rtt' value on a 'tc -s qdisc' command.  It has to be a silly but
I can't work it out at the moment - please let me know if you can see
how I've been stupid.

Problem solved!  Little cheer.
