I think, eric, that you missed this portion of the idea, and that I
mis-commented it, and worse, overstated the effect of what I was
trying to do while watching it crash...

...and seeing through the dust and clouds... off in the distance...
the desirable behavior I'd been aiming for.

...

in fq_codel_enqueue...

                flow->deficit = min(q->quantum, qdisc_pkt_len(skb));
// put only 1 packet into the new flow queue unless it's more than
quantum (in which case it too will be kicked to old flows)
