I think we can fix this after the merge window :)

One idea is to allow all of the queues to point at a
single qdisc.  We'd just need to work out how to do the
locking.

For example, the Qdisc has a lock member, and a pointer.
For simple qdiscs the pointer points at the netdev_queue
lock.  But when sharing, we use the in-Qdisc static lock.
