.SS orphan_mask
For packets not owned by a socket, fq is able to mask a part of skb->hash
and reduce number of buckets associated with the traffic. This is a DDOS
prevention mechanism, and the default is 1023 (meaning no more than 1024 flows
are allocated for these packets)

.SS ce_threshold
sets a threshold above which all packets are marked with ECN Congestion
Experienced. This is useful for DCTCP-style congestion control algorithms that
require marking at very shallow queueing thresholds.
