I couldn't get anything to work with dsmark so went for plan B =

Use tc pedit which has a selector for dscp.  Turned out to be useless
though, it looked like it overwrote the whole tos byte, but worse I
ended up with packets that failed csum so got dropped.

Plan C worked :-) = use action ipt, which is now action xt (ugh).

tc filter add dev ppp0 parent ffff: prio 1 protocol ip u32 match ip 
protocol 1 0xff action xt -j DSCP --set-dscp-class ef action mirred 
egress redirect dev ifb0

...other filters ...

TODO see if it's possible with actions to set dscp when using connmark to
choose the flow.
