Why not just allow adjusting dev->weight via sysfs?

I think that should be good enough - and i thought your patch already
did this.
Adding a shift to the weight in a _weighted_ RR algorithm does sound
odd.

Stephen's patch only affects the weight for the backlog device.  Exporting
dev-> weight to sysfs will allow the weight to be set for any network
device.  Which makes perfect sense.

I'll work on getting this done and verifying performance this week.
Expect a patch in a few days.

Thanks, guys.
