Note that this MQ + HTB thing works well, unless you use a bonding
device. (Or you need the MQ+HTB on the slaves, with no way of sharing
tokens between the slaves)

bonding can not really be used as a true MQ device yet.

I might send a patch to disable this 'bonding feature' if no slave sets
a queue_id.
