I'm not saying you have to use a macro for this. I'm fine with using
65536 here, some other developers might have stronger opinions on this?

Hmmmm... so you are using cell_log to approximate the MTU size, because
struct tc_ratespec, does not contain the a mtu parameter.  You do
realize this is only an approximation. (This also smells like a bad
transition away from the userspace rate tables)

What about the p->mtu parameter from struct tc_tbf_qopt.  I know it is
in a "time" format... but hey, you are already using this parameter
requoting your patch:

You are using q->mtu here, BUT why are you only doing this, when there
is a qopt->peakrate.rate, set???  (I might have missed something)
