Then lets call it a cleanup of the L2T macros.  In the next step we will 
fix the different schedulers, to use the ability to lookup larger sized 
packets. (I did notice the TBF scheduler would drop oversized packets).

Lets take it one step at a time, but I agree.


Will you ack the patch as a cleanup?
