You are right, it may cause an issue on an IMQ like device when we have
one in kernel. Hang on to the patch for now is my opinion; "schedulers"
should probably not be mucking with packets once they are queued in
(dsmark aint really a scheduler). We should talk to Werner to see if we
can move that functionality prequeueing ...
