Please use "unsigned int".

Since you already split the STAB into a base and a data
structure, wouldn't it make sense to have the data size
dynamic for user-defined granularity?

ERR_PTR is cleaner than pointer return values IMO.

A BUILD_BUG_ON to make sure the skb->cb size is not exceeded would
be good to have.

How about adding qdisc_enqueue_root() to perform both these steps
(its similar to net/core/dev.c).

I don't think this will help, the inner qdisc might again have
an inner qdisc that increases the size. So this probably needs
to be handled during dequeue.
