It seems decisions makers need more time, so I'd add 
2 cents more:

1c: an indentation could be improved (spaces around
operators), like in these places:

>+#define HTB_MAX_CLS		(TC_H_MIN(-1)+1)
...
>+	htb_cls_array* a;
...
>+	int cnt,done;

etc.

2c: it is a question of taste, but here:

> 			goto failure;

it would be probably more readable and a bit merciful
to the stressed system to free this htb_cls_array after
the last error (I know it's not a leak).

PS: 1c extra - it's easier to read a diff if you use -p option.
