David Ward 357c45ad3a tc: gred: Adopt the term VQ in the command syntax and output
In the GRED kernel source code, both of the terms "drop parameters"
(DP) and "virtual queue" (VQ) are used to refer to the same thing.
Each "DP" is better understood as a "set of drop parameters", since
it has values for limit, min, max, avpkt, etc. This terminology can
result in confusion when creating a GRED qdisc having multiple DPs.
Netlink attributes and struct members with the DP name seem to have
been left intact for compatibility, while the term VQ was otherwise
adopted in the code, which is more intuitive.

Use the VQ term in the tc command syntax and output (but maintain
compatibility with the old syntax).

Rewrite the usage text to be concise and similar to other qdiscs.

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
