It seems policer parsing with conform-exceed is broken.
I have verified this with a few actions.
git bisect indicates things were working before refactoring
into tc-utils.c - Unfortunately I dont have time to dig.
There seem to be two issues:

1) Has to do with whether you have space before or after "/"

#doesnt work
sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k \
conform-exceed  A /B
#doesnt work
sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k \
conform-exceed  A/B
#doesnt work
sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k \
conform-exceed  A/ B
#works
sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k \
conform-exceed  A / B

I tried a few actions but focussed on the "goto chain" and
"jump" actions.

2) specifying and index with "goto chain" but maybe consistent
across other actions

#works
sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k conform-exceed 
pipe / goto chain 111

#doesnt work
sudo $TC actions add action police rate 1kbit burst 90k conform-exceed 
pipe / goto chain 111 index 111

I may be able to get to it around netdev2.2 time if nobody else does.

cheers,
jamal
