[Bloat] Adding CAKE "tc qdisc" options to NetworkManager

[David Collier-Brown]

By pure luck, I ended up chatting with one of the NetworkManager chaps, 
who invited a merge request with the proper parameters for CAKE.

He wrote

Currently NM doesn't support configuring CAKE parameters. IOW, if you
set "root cake bandwidth 100Mbit", you will see in the tc output that
cake was set but with default parameters.

Yes, I think it will be useful to have CAKE support in NM, but I can't
say when it will be implemented. Of course, patches are always
welcome; if anybody is interested in contributing it, please have a
look at the work that was done to support SFQ:

Sounds like a good job for next weekend, can I get some reviewers for 
the week after?

A MR on gitlab is the preferred way:
