From: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@intel.com> This allows taprio to offload the schedule enforcement to capable network cards, resulting in more precise windows and less CPU usage. The important detail here is the difference between the gate_mask in taprio and gate_mask for the network driver. For the driver, each bit in gate_mask references a transmission queue: bit 0 for queue 0, bit 1 for queue 1, and so on. This is done so the driver doesn't need to know about traffic classes.

Hi Andrew, I thought I'd added it, but it looks like I edited the patch and then overwrote it, instead of operating on the git history. Next time! -Vladimir
