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 patch applies on top of Patrick McHardy's RTNETLINK
patches to add nested compat attributes. This is needed to maintain
ABI for sch_{rr|prio} in the kernel with respect to tc. A new option,
namely multiqueue, was added to sch_prio and sch_rr. This will allow
a user to turn multiqueue support on for sch_prio or sch_rr at loadtime.
Also, tc qdisc ls will display whether or not multiqueue is enabled on
that qdisc. When in multiqueue mode, a user can specify a value of 0 for
bands, and the number of bands will be created to match the number of
queues on the device.
This patch is to support the new sch_rr (round-robin) qdisc being proposed
in NET for multiqueue network device support in the Linux network stack.
It uses q_prio.c as the template, since the qdiscs are nearly identical,
outside of the ->dequeue() routine.
