Subject: Bypass qdiscs?

Is there a way to mark an skb (or its socket) before invoking
ip_queue_xmit/ip6_xmit so that the packet will bypass the qdiscs and
be transmitted immediately? Is doing such a thing considered bad
practice?

(Homa has its own packet scheduling mechanism so the qdiscs are just
getting in the way and adding delays)
