reason i raised it is from looking at tc_ctl_tfilter().
If i specify ifindex != TCM_IFINDEX_MAGIC_BLOCK,
parent = 0XFFFF.... and block = 22 that should work, no?
i.e regardless of whether parent is INGRESS etc.

And so i was confused why you had attributes in sch_ingress.c

ok for clsact - i can see that we dont have enough fields in the tcm
message.

TCA_BLOCK sounds appealing - could be a speacial tlv with many block ids
maybe? I really would like to use this for egress as well - and what
i described earlier should work for me.
