I tried to do that, but adding proper netns support is more
complicated than I expected. sch_teql registers a qdisc for
each master device using the name of the master. Currently
qdisc registrations are global, so this doesn't work with
network namespaces.

We could of course make them per netns, but that would require
duplicating all global registrations for each namespace. I'm
not convinced that its worth doing this since its only teql
that needs it and it doesn't seem to be very useful to use
teql in a virtual environment.
