It seems the "overhead 10" was never reported back by 
"tc -s class show dev ... "

Also, the "linklayer atm" changes the data[] part, and this one is not
matched in qdisc_get_rtab()

So two different rate specifications, but sharing same struct
tc_ratespec could be shared... Oh well.

It seems following fix would be needed anyway ?

[PATCH] net_sched: qdisc_get_rtab() must check data[] array

qdisc_get_rtab() should check not only the keys in struct tc_ratespec,
but also the full data[] array.

"tc ... linklayer atm " only perturbs values in the 256 slots array.
