[Codel] The next slice of cake

[Dave Taht]

I note the backport to prior to 3.18 is no longer needed at this
point, I have no intentions of going back to a kernel that old.

Does anyone here care about keeping this working with anything older than 3.18?

I’m working towards getting OProfile running on at least one of my desktop-type machines; hopefully it’ll work sufficiently well on the Pentium-MMX, since that’s the easiest one to drive into saturation.
