I thought about doing just that but then I realized that there would be a number of issues. First if I just set the skb->queue_mapping for the packet without moving it to a qdisc dedicated to that tx queue I run into head-of-line issues since multiple qdiscs will stop if holding packets for a single tx queue that is full. That is over come in this patch by the fact that each qdisc has a specific fifo per tx queue.
Such fifos could be configured using 'tc' commands just as easily. Look, I know what you're trying to do is possible with at best minor tweaks. So don't press your luck listing how impossible it is :-)
