I assumed that the patch makes it possible to replace standard tfifo?! Tfifo
provides strict ordering, other qdisc's do not. So I thought if someone use
netem rate|jitter with e.g. SFQ then this should be mentioned somewhere. E.g.
"rate|jitter can only be used with tfifo qdisc". Correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers
