i dont use vendor patches. its a old kernel i know and i have some 
backports on it. i avoided switching to newer kernels due some serious 
issues under specific conditions on these models (unrelated to qos, but 
to flash memory access). the drivers are basicly the same as for openwrt 
and it runes fairly well for all schedulers except for cake here. 
usually there is also a big in the out of tree version of cake. but i 
havent found anything while reviewing
