This patch was previously submitted as RFC. Submitting this as
non-RFC now that the tc/mqprio changes are accepted in net-next.
Adds new mqprio options for 'mode' and 'shaper'. The mode
option can take values for offload modes such as 'dcb' (default),
'channel' with the 'hw' option set to 1. The new 'channel' mode
supports offloading TCs and other queue configurations. The
'shaper' option is to support HW shapers ('dcb' default) and
takes the value 'bw_rlimit' for bandwidth rate limiting. The
parameters to the bw_rlimit shaper are minimum and maximum
bandwidth rates. New HW shapers in future can be supported
through the shaper attribute.
