Do you expect TC bw allocation to work on non-leaf nodes?

Yes. That's the point. It works.

Let's level -- I'm not trying to be difficult, but you're defining
uAPI with little to no documentation. "It works" is not going to cut it.

How does this relate to the rate API which Paolo added? He was asked
to build in a way to integrate with devlink now devlink is growing
extra features again, which presumably the other API will also need.
And the integration may turn out to be challenging.

AFAIU Paolo's work is not for shapers 'above' the network device level, 
i.e. groups.

What's the difference between queue group and a VF?
