Of course I'm a complete muppet!  This would be a fairly pointless
exercise as cake has already classified the tunnel as it's a single flow
(from my router to the tunnel server) and no amount of dscp bit fiddling
from inner to outer headers is going to make different parts of the
tunnel flow move to different cake tins.  Oh I am stupid.  Sigh.

I'm going to persist with my dscp 'dye' option (wash cleans, dye
'colours' the packets with certain dscp codes per tin - wash/dye -
geddit?  I'll fetch my coat)
