[Codel] BQL support in Ethernet drivers (and Kathie Nichols and Van Jacobson's new AQM, codel)

[Dave Taht]

I would really like people to clearly mark when they are using pfifo_fast,
codel, and fq_codel.

Secondly, I note that for utterly best results it is useful to ALSO have
htb on on ingress to a value only slightly lower than the rate under
test, and fq_codel attached to
the bin(s)

(an example of this is in the deBloat repo on github - both ingress.sh
and simple_qos.sh)

It would be nice if doing ingress was as simple as egress, maybe using some sort
of tbf + fq_codel....

Otherwise for some benchmarks... at 100Mbit, you will see TCP_STREAM
behavior holding
the line at ~5ms, and TCP_MAERTS being in excess of 30ms, especially
when pfifo_fast is on the other
side. Or vice versa, depending on where you are running the test.
