I think the only way we can proceed is to keep the current qopt
structure static, and only add things using new attributes.

I would also suggest that we make sch_netem.c strictly require a
specific size for the structure.  And before anyone says that will
break something, it's much better than what we have now which is
random, silent, dropping of attributes.
