Hmmm... not exactly, cell_log can be input by user,
if input like this "...  burst 100KB/4 rate 100mbit mtu 4095",
with old calculation method, max_size would be 1023, but with
new calculation method, it's 65536. I use cell_log here make it
be same as before.
Maybe don't need be same, what's your opinion?
Thanks!

When qopt->peakrate.rate is not set, q->mtu is 0.
