====================
taprio automatic queueMaxSDU and new TXQ selection procedure

This patch set addresses 2 design limitations in the taprio software scheduler:

1. Software scheduling fundamentally prioritizes traffic incorrectly,
   in a way which was inspired from Intel igb/igc drivers and does not
   follow the inputs user space gives (traffic classes and TC to TXQ
   mapping). Patch 05/15 handles this, 01/15 - 04/15 are preparations
   for this work.

2. Software scheduling assumes that the gate for a traffic class closes
   as soon as the next interval begins. But this isn't true.
   If consecutive schedule entries have that traffic class gate open,
   there is no "gate close" event and taprio should keep dequeuing from
   that TC without interruptions. Patches 06/15 - 15/15 handle this.
   Patch 10/15 is a generic Qdisc change required for this to work.

Future development directions which depend on this patch set are:

- Propagating the automatic queueMaxSDU calculation down to offloading
  device drivers, instead of letting them calculate this, as
  vsc9959_tas_guard_bands_update() does today.

- A software data path for tc-taprio with preemptible traffic and
  Hold/Release events.
