Subject: [PATCH net-next] netem: add cell concept to simulate special MAC behavior

So I hope Eric's div/mod concerns are addressed with this version!? ;-)
No "hot-path" div/mod operation anymore. tc_netem_rate was introduced in
current net-next tree so there are no API f*ckups.


From: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@...u.net>

This extension can be used to simulate special link layer
characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the
calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original
packet size and artificial cell information.

packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression
scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive
packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is
also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something
else.

cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes,
based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC
schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each.
Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell
overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead
(e.g.  5 byte header per fragment).

Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per
cell overhead 5 byte):

  tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5
