Excellent! I'm glad this is applied. I'm having trouble figuring out how
it works, though. As a test, I'm trying to set up SFQ equivalent to
ESFQ's "hash dst". Here's what I do, and this is what I get:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ./tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: sfq
# ./tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1: flow hash keys dst
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
We have an error talking to the kernel
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried a few different keys with the same results. I don't know what
I'm doing wrong, or even where to start figuring it out. Can you point
me in the right direction?

Here are some details that may be pertinent:

- current net-2.6 git (I double-checked)
- CONFIG_NET_CLS_FLOW=y
- current iproute2 git
- running on amd64 user-mode Linux


Thanks,
Corey
