Clearer error messages for fifo and tbf qdiscs:
- Say who is complaining
- Don't just say a parameter is bad, show the offending parameter
- Be clearer about duplicate parameters vs illegal pairs of parameters
- Try to give multiple error messages rather than let the user discover the errors one by one
- When there are parameter aliases, try to use the variant that was used, or at least mention them all
Note that in the old version an empty parameter list to tbf would just cause an explain() message
without a specific error message. By simply removing the relevant error check, the code now
handles this error more gracefully by printing an error message for all mandatory parameters.
It still prints the explain() message.

Introducing the function that does the ATM cell alignment, and
modifying tc_calc_rtable() to use this based upon a linklayer
parameter.
Modified from original to use constants from atm.h and
fix all the usages of rtable in same patch.

For TBF, implement overhead parameter parsing.
The change is ABI (Application Binary Interface) backward compatible
with older kernels, but will first have effect from kernel 2.6.24.

Change tc_calc_rtable() to take a tc_ratespec struct as an
argument. (cell_log still needs to be passed on as a parameter,
because -1 indicate that the cell_log needs to be computed by the
function.).

[IPROUTE]: Replace "usec" by "time" in function names
Rename functions containing "usec" since they don't necessarily return
usec units anymore.

[IPROUTE]: Introduce TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC to represent internal clock resolution
Introduce TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC and conversion functions between internal
resolution and resolution expected by the kernel (currently implemented as
NOPs, only needed by HFSC, which currently always uses microseconds).

[IPROUTE]: Introduce tc_calc_xmitsize and use where appropriate
Add tc_calc_xmitsize() as complement to tc_calc_xmittime(), which calculates
the size that can be transmitted at a given rate during a given time.
Replace all expressions of the form "size = rate*tc_core_tick2usec(time))/1000000"
by tc_calc_xmitsize() calls.

[IPROUTE]: tbf: fix latency printing
The calculated latency is already in usecs, the additional tick2usec
conversion breaks the calculation with jiffies or tsc clock source.
Example:
# tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root tbf latency 20ms burst 10k rate 50mbit
# tc qdisc show dev dummy0
qdisc tbf 8002: rate 50000Kbit burst 10Kb lat 15.4ms
Fixed:
# tc qdisc show dev dummy0
qdisc tbf 8002: rate 50000Kbit burst 10Kb lat 20ms
