Sounds like you need to extend struct tcf_result?

It is not hard to integrate, basically you need to call tcf_classify().
Although it is not mandatory, it is odd to merge a qdisc doesn't work
with existing tc filters (and actions too).

In non-error case, you call cake_change() first and then allocate ->tins
with kvzalloc() below. For me it looks like you don't need to allocate it
again when ->tins!=NULL.
