The functions print_rate() and sprint_rate() are useful for formatting
rate-like values. The DCB tool would find these useful in the maxrate
subtool. However, the current interface to these functions uses a global
variable use_iec as a flag indicating whether 1024- or 1000-based powers
should be used when formatting the rate value. For general use, a global
variable is not a great way of passing arguments to a function. Besides, it
is unlike most other printing functions in that it deals in buffers and
ignores JSON.
Therefore make the interface to print_rate() explicit by converting use_iec
to an ordinary parameter. Since the interface changes anyway, convert it to
follow the pattern of other json_print functions (except for the
now-explicit use_iec parameter). Move to json_print.c.
Add a wrapper to tc, so that all the call sites do not need to repeat the
use_iec global variable argument, and convert all call sites.
In q_cake.c, the conversion is not straightforward due to usage of a macro
that is shared across numerous data types. Simply hand-roll the
corresponding code, which seems better than making an extra helper for one
call site.
Drop sprint_rate() now that everybody just uses print_rate().

We have helper routines to support nested attribute addition into
netlink buffer: use them instead of open coding.
Use addattr_nest_compat()/addattr_nest_compat_end() where appropriate.

This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

This big patch was compiled by vimgrepping for memset calls and changing
to C99 initializer if applicable. One notable exception is the
initialization of union bpf_attr in tc/tc_bpf.c: changing it would break
for older gcc versions (at least <=3.4.6).
Calls to memset for struct rtattr pointer fields for parse_rtattr*()
were just dropped since they are not needed.
The changes here allowed the compiler to discover some unused variables,
so get rid of them, too.

This patch adds detailed documentation for HFSC scheduler. It roughly
follows HFSC paper, but tries to not rely too much on math side of things.
Post-paper/Linux specific subjects (timer resolution, ul service curve, etc.)
are also discussed.
I've read it many times over, but it's a lengthy chunk of text - so try
to be understanding in case I made some mistakes.
tc-hfsc(7): explains algorithm in detail (very long)
tc-hfsc(8): explains command line options briefly
tc(8): adds references to new man pages
Makefile: adds man7 directory to install target
q_hfsc.c: minimal help text changes, consistency with tc-hfsc(8)

[IPROUTE]: Replace "usec" by "time" in function names

[IPROUTE]: Introduce TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC to represent internal clock resolution
Introduce TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC and conversion functions between internal
