To give you an idea here are some currently out of tree, out of date,
and highly experimental codel patches of mine
that add in some new qdiscs, and patch the right places, with the
exception of patching include/uapi/linux/pkt_sched.h (which exports
the stuff to userspace)

https://github.com/dtaht/cerowrt-3.10/blob/master/target/linux/generic/patches-3.10/680-codel-add-experimental-codel-and-fq_codel-versions.patch

to add stuff to tc, you patch the iproute2 utility to match what is
exported from pkt_sched.h.
